Interesting that the author of this extension has not commented on your question...



thanks for the callout — was taking me a second to respond because I wasn't 100% sure. It's a good question. I was actually trying to get the phone with a copyright lawyer to give an accurate answer. I believe (not a legal advice) it depends on the given website's terms of service. There's usually a "fair use" clause. Of course, if you do use the extension and you're reading this: don't use their own trademarks (like logos!) on your own site! Use our convert button and edit it to make it fully your own.

There are many extensions that grab designs from any website (this is not new tech) - what's different about ours is that we convert it to a React component for the purpose of then editing it with AI to make it your own.

I'll note it's against our Acceptable Use Policy to use it for impersonation / inauthentic behavior: https://www.magicpatterns.com/docs/documentation/legal/accep...


Props for actually looking into it and giving an answer!
