TemplateMonster:

Single Site license covers exactly one domain. Using the same template on a second website requires an additional license.

TemplateMonster is NOT a subscription service. Each template is a one-time purchase with a perpetual license.

npm:

Always check the 'license' field in package.json before using a package. MIT is the most common but not universal - some packages are GPL, proprietary, or have no license specified.

Packages with no license field or 'UNLICENSED' are all rights reserved. You may not have the right to use them in your projects.
