It means we can use any free extension available.

that’s what I meant

#72

But if the extension is free then why did we need permission form author.

Actually this is my first time for any compitition so I don’t know what exactly it means.

#73

Because a piece of software is free of cost does not automatically make it free to redistribute. :slight_smile:

I think no.
If some devs will use paid assets then competition can’t be called fair.It should be equal for all.

That’s why you can’t use paid extensions in your app.
