    In your Terms and Conditions page, you stated:

    “Extensions can be included in premium products (themes or plugins) that are sold to users. In that case, you have to keep the credit to metabox.io. Link attribution is required. The credit must be put on a public and visible page. Credit is not required if you include extensions in your products (themes, plugins, websites) for your clients.”

    Regarding the statement “The credit must be put on a public and visible page”:

    Can you tell me how I can enforce this if I'm selling a premium plugin or theme – with the MB Frontend Submission extension included – that does not change the front-end code in any way?

    By definition, if I sell the product to a third party, I simply don't have any control over how or where it is going to be used. There's no way I can access the backend of an unknown site to add a link on a public and visible page.

    So, please elaborate on this. I'm trying to understand it, because it doesn't make any sense to me as it is.

    Hi,

    You must put the credit on your project page. If you have a product page on your website, you need to put it there. Or if you sell on Envato, you should put on the item's page.

    You don't have to put on the front end of all your users's website (as you're using MB Frontend Submission extension).

    If you sell the product to a 3rd party, if they only use for themselves, then it's ok. But if they release a product that is sold to users, they'll have to follow this rule as well.

    Thanks for clarifying this, Anh.

    It would then be interesting if this were explicitly stated in the terms. Just an example:

    “The credit must be put on a public and visible page of your project's website”
