If you're going to distribute them, e.g. on your web page (which looks very thorough; good work!), you just need to follow Vim's license, which is here: < http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/uganda.html#license>. Basically it's GPL-compatible (I think version 2 but I'm not sure). Evil is licensed as GPL3, so there should be little problem (but IANAL). > > In the mean time I am writing a tutorial that I designed for Evil users, > but can be useful for Vim users too.
