[Pinout.xyz](http://pinout.xyz/) is the successor to the popular Pi pinout website originally hosted on [http://pi.gadgetoid.com/pinout](http://pi.gadgetoid.com/pinout).

The license was previously explicitly non-commercial, to understand why it has been changed please see: https://github.com/pinout-xyz/Pinout.xyz/issues/481

This license also excludes all board photography which is pinched from various sources in the hope that using it for documentation/promotional purposes will not raise any hackles.
This license includes the 'pinout-graphic-horizontal' files located in the `graphics` directory and the 'pi-orientation' graphic located in `resources`, which are provided to permit commercial use; specifically publication in books and magazines with appropriate attribution.

The license excludes all board photography which has been supplied by manufacturers or customers via PR without any explicit license grant, or supplied under the implicit permission of my (@Gadgetoid) employment at Pimoroni. Re-use of product photography is normally assumed to be implicitly permitted for resale or promotional purposes, but I cannot pass a nebulous, implicit license on for re-use. YMMV.

If you copy and re-use this website henceforth, I would prefer full attribution in the page footer, for example:

Based on <a href="https://pinout.xyz">Pinout.xyz</a> created by <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@gadgetoid">@gadgetoid.</a>
Maintained by @yourname, contribute at https://github.com/yourname/yourfork

If you're a commercial venture, or closely associated, I would also appreciate, but do not require, that you review Pinout's funding options and maybe chuck me a bone!
