Licensing
Three licenses scoped by directory, and the reasoning behind each one.
| Scope | License | File |
|---|---|---|
| Code | MIT | LICENSE |
| The example posts | CC0 1.0 | LICENSE-SEED |
| Documentation prose, including the GEO playbook | CC BY 4.0 | LICENSE-CONTENT |
Code: MIT
A restrictive license on a template whose entire distribution mechanism is copying files into your repository would be incoherent. MIT matches shadcn, matches Next.js, and matches every expectation the audience has.
The example posts: CC0
The two posts in content/blog/ are copied into your repository and become your
published content. Any attribution requirement would mean every AgentBlog user
technically owed credit on their own blog, which is unenforceable and hostile.
CC0 says so explicitly.
Delete them, rewrite them, or publish them as they are. They are yours the moment they land.
Documentation: CC BY 4.0
This reverses the obvious instinct, which was to stop a competitor reprinting the playbook.
The realistic threat is scraping, and no license prevents scraping. The realistic upside is being quoted, and CC BY's attribution requirement is exactly the citation this product exists to generate. Licensing the best top-of-funnel asset here so that reproducing it requires a credit link is the most on-thesis choice available.
So: reproduce these pages, translate them, quote them at length, put them in
your internal wiki, feed them to a model. Credit agentblog.dev with a link.

SPDX headers mark the boundary in ambiguous files.
Third-party licenses
AgentBlog composes shadcn/ui components (MIT) and depends on Next.js, React, Zod, Tailwind CSS, and the unified ecosystem, all MIT. Nothing in the dependency tree carries a copyleft obligation.
The typography plugin is MIT. schema-dts is Apache 2.0, and it is a
development dependency in the blog: it types the structured data builders and
does not ship to the browser.
