It is also important to note that these licenses do not offer a warranty. Some parts of TurboWarp use "weak" copyleft licenses such as the [Mozilla Public License version 2.0](https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/). Grossly simplified, this means that if you modify the those parts of the code, you must share just that specific code under the same license. -The TurboWarp Packager itself and some of our extensions use the [Mozilla Public License version 2.0](https://mozilla.org/MPL/2.0/) or other copyleft licenses.
