Other Information

I was talking to an AI, and it was confusing whether my browser is legal according to the Terms of Service (TOS) of InfinityFree or not. The browser I made in PHP has been removed from being live, so I believe I am safe regarding InfinityFree’s rules.

My browser works by using APIs such as Wikipedia and others. When a person searches for something, the API returns results similar to a search engine like Google. There is also an option to submit a website. The admin checks the submitted content from example.com/admin, and if it is acceptable, it gets approved and added to the search engine. After approval, when someone searches for that website, it appears in the search results. There is also a built-in calculator in my browser.

Just tell me, would it be legal if I made it live?

What you’re doing is probably legal. However, please do carefully check the terms of the content and APIs you’re using and see whether they allow such usage, especially if you are reproducing content from that original platform on your site.

Wikipedia’s text is licensed under CC-BY-SA, meaning that you can use it as long as you credit Wikipedia for it, but they are notoriously permissive with their content. By default, any content is protected by copyright so you cannot reproduce it without permission.

And copyright infringement is illegal, and a valid ground to have a website taken down.
