What License and Copyright Information Applies to TechanJS?

TechanJS is copyright © 2016 André Dumas, and the site provides a dedicated "TechanJS License" link as the authoritative source for its terms. The homepage itself does not state the license name or its conditions, so you should open that license page before integrating or redistributing the library. If your project depends on a specific license type (for example, a permissive license for commercial redistribution), verify it there rather than assuming.

What the site actually states

The TechanJS homepage carries two relevant pieces of information:

• A copyright notice: © Copyright 2016 André Dumas
• A link labeled TechanJS License

That is the full extent of the licensing information visible on the homepage. The page does not name the license (MIT, Apache, GPL, etc.), does not summarize permissions or restrictions, and does not describe attribution requirements. The license link is the intended path to those details.

Why the copyright year matters

The notice reads "© Copyright 2016 André Dumas." A single year indicates when the copyright notice was published, not necessarily the last year of development or the only year covered. For compliance purposes, the practical takeaway is:

• The copyright holder is André Dumas.
• Any attribution or notice you preserve should credit that holder and year as stated.
• Do not infer the license from the copyright line alone — copyright ownership and license grant are separate things.

How to confirm the terms before you ship

1. Open the TechanJS License link from the homepage.
2. Read the full text to identify the license name and its conditions.
3. Check whether your intended use — commercial product, closed-source distribution, modification, bundling into a larger app — is permitted.
4. If the license requires preserving a notice, keep the copyright line and license text in your distribution.
5. If the terms are unclear or your use is high-stakes, treat the license page as the only citable source and consult your own legal review.

What this means for integration and distribution

Because the homepage does not state the license terms, you cannot conclude from the homepage alone that TechanJS is free to use, free to modify, or free to redistribute. Those are exactly the questions the license page answers. Until you have read it:

• Do not assume permissive reuse.
• Do not assume the library can be bundled into a commercial or closed-source product.
• Do not assume attribution is optional.

Once you have the license text, map its conditions onto your distribution model — for example, whether you ship source, minified bundles, or a hosted service — and preserve any required notices accordingly.

Quick reference

The short version: credit © 2016 André Dumas, and read the TechanJS License page before you decide how the library can be used in your project.
