-We just open-sourced everything on 2014-01-03 as a preview release for our [Archmages](http://codecombat.com/contribute#archmage) who have been waiting to contribute. We will announce it fully on Monday. Please poke around, add issues, work on issues, and have fun! We'd love to see as many contributors as possible this weekend, so no contribution is too small.

-[The MIT License (MIT)](https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat/blob/master/LICENSE)
+It's both a startup and a community project, completely open source under the [MIT and Creative Commons licenses](http://codecombat.com/legal). It's the largest open source [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/) project by lines of code, and since it's a game (with [really cool tech](https://github.com/codecombat/codecombat/wiki/Third-party-software-and-services)), it's really fun to hack on. Join us in teaching the world to code! Your contribution will go on to show millions of players how cool programming can be.
