ATTRIBUTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MIT License asks one thing in return for unrestricted use, including
commercial use: that the copyright notice and permission notice are retained in
copies and substantial portions of the work.

For this project the thing that actually gets copied is usually the built HTML,
pasted into an ESP, rather than the repository. So every built email carries the
notice itself, as a 178-byte comment immediately after the doctype:

  <!--! html-email · cross-client HTML email framework · Copyright (c)
  2014-2026 David Condrey · MIT Licensed · Please keep this notice ·
  https://github.com/dcondrey/html-email -->

It is invisible to recipients, it survives the production minifier, and leaving
it alone is all that is being asked. Please do not strip it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IF YOU WANT TO GO FURTHER
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None of the following is required. All of it is genuinely appreciated, and it
is what keeps a project like this maintained.

  Documentation, a README, or a credits page:

    Email templates by html-email (https://github.com/dcondrey/html-email),
    MIT Licensed.

  A blog post or case study: a link to the repository.

  A product built on it: a line in your acknowledgements.

  A star on the repository, or telling us where it shipped. Knowing an email
  went to real inboxes is the main reason the oldest clients still get support.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT YOU DO NOT NEED PERMISSION FOR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using it commercially. Modifying it. Rebranding the templates entirely.
Shipping it inside a paid product. Using it for clients. Not open-sourcing your
changes. MIT permits all of it, and that is deliberate.

The brand names, copy, and imagery in templates/ and examples/ are fictitious
sample content, self-authored and generated by scripts/. Replace them.
