Description

Title, basically.

I imagine one well-worded paragraph mentioning

- that the library (both the original as well as the community edition) are MIT licensed,
- that the code for Grant's videos (3b1b/videos) is open-source but copyrighted (in particular: Pi creatures are protected),
- that videos created with Manim are allowed (and actually even _supposed_) to be shared online; no attribution of Manim is required (just much appreciated)

would do the job. Help coming up with a suitable wording is very welcome!

Research direction

Start at the documentation landing page and review its existing licensing or attribution content. Add one well-worded paragraph covering the MIT licenses, the copyright status of 3b1b/videos and Pi creatures, and sharing videos made with Manim; done means all requested points are clearly stated on the landing page.
