Hey, guys!

I would love to make a game to use in an art installation. This platform seems accessible enough for me to actually be able to make something, but I know there are rules about commercial use. Though I wouldn’t be selling the game, people would have to pay to enter the area where the game would be displayed. I wanted to check if that was okay and, if not, if there is any way I could go about getting a license. I searched all over the site and even emailed the team but can’t find any definitive answer.

Thank you in advance!

Haha yeah, I searched the forums and didn’t see anything. And I emailed them, too. I really don’t want to get sued in case it’s not allowed to be displayed in a commercial space. But I also know nothing about code and this is the only coding software that seems like I could actually use since I’m a total beginner.

Follow up, does anyone know how to get in touch with a makecode team member other than email? Maybe I could tag someone or something?

The best way to contact the moderators is to ping them or DM them. You can also ask on [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-arcade/issues).

_(I’m not a lawyer, take this advice with a grain of salt and contact one if neccessary)_

Although, since the code is MIT licensed, I’m pretty sure you can use it for commercial use since the MIT license allows for it. I would still check to make sure though!
