This is a good point, thank you :)
I was thinking along the lines of not restricting myself from using my own work in the future, but I hadn't thought about third parties being able to use it too. I'm not concerned about other people using the code behind the website, for example. I'm still learning, so it's probably more spaghetti than anything decent, but @jqubed@lemmy.world pointed out in their reply, I wouldn't be able to stop anyone from using graphics etc.
No problem! As far as graphics go, if you open source then you can specify in your repo's Readme what parts are under what license.
"All html, Javascript, css are licensed under XYZ"
"All graphics/images used with permission by ABC for exclusive use within this project"
It isn't particularly uncommon, and you could even list out specific graphics under what license, or structure them in the repository based on license /assets/licenseName if needed
That's a great idea, thanks :)
