Why the MIT License?

We chose the MIT license because it is:

• Commercial Friendly: You can use PoshUI in your company's internal tools or commercial products.
• Simple: No complex legal requirements.
• Permissive: You can modify the code to suit your needs.

Third-Party Libraries

One of the core design principles of PoshUI is zero third-party dependencies.

• No NuGet packages
• No external DLLs (other than standard .NET Framework)
• No third-party UI libraries

This means you don't have to worry about complex licensing chains or supply chain security issues from nested dependencies.
