General principles
Quartz follows those general licensing principles:
- code that is shared publicly is released under the GNU LGPL v2.1 license
- creative content (icons, designs files, etc.) that is shared publicly is released under the CC BY-ND 4.0 license
- any asset that is protected by copyright is not published on the Internet
Although this website is built with some open-source packages from Quartz, it also uses private packages and assets to enable the Schneider Electric brand identity. You are not allowed to use those copyrighted assets.
Quartz open-source licenses
GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1
Primarily used for software libraries, the GNU LGPL requires that derived works be licensed under the same license, but works that only link to it do not fall under this restriction.
This choosealicense.com page provides a good overview of what you can and can't do with assets published under the LGPL v2.1 license.

Third-party licenses
Quartz is using third-party libraries and assets that explicitly require to include a copy of their license in our assets. Those licenses are indeed included in every Quartz package using them. For the sake of being as transparent as possible, we also list those licenses here.
