; What if I don't like a proposed change?
You still have full control of your original code and mod pages; nobody can change those without your approval! You're free to reject a change someone proposes to your mod.

; What is a Git repository?
Git is software that helps track changes to your code, and a repository is a folder containing your mod files with Git tracking. You can look up Git tutorials if you want to know more, but don't worry: you don't need to know how it works to use it!

; Does this apply for content packs?
Yep! Content packs aren't compiled, but other modders can't legally make changes without a code license. Note that 'permissions' options on sites like Nexus are legally iffy (e.g. who has copyright on derivatives? Can derivatives be relicensed?), so it's a good idea to have a code license for content packs too. That also lets other modders contribute pull requests and updates. When this page says 'code', it means everything in your content pack including JSON files, images, maps, etc.
