Nano Licensing

The whole of it

Nano CMS, Nano Cart, Nano Chat, Nano GDPR and Nano 301 are released under the MIT licence. You can download them, use them, change them, and put them on as many sites as you like, your own and your clients', without paying anyone. There is no per-domain fee, no key to enter, and nothing that checks in with a server.

What the five tools are

Each one does a single job on a site that is otherwise plain HTML. None of them needs a database, a build step, or a framework, and none of them leaves a permanent admin panel on your server.

• Nano CMS adds a blog. One post is one Markdown file on disk, and it emits a sitemap, an RSS feed and full search metadata.
• Nano Cart adds a shop for twenty to fifty fixed-price products. One product is one JSON file, and checkout is a hosted link to whatever you already use.
• Nano Chat adds a "Chat with us" button. Visitors pick a subject and type; you answer in a password-protected console.
• Nano GDPR adds a cookie consent banner that holds back your analytics and marketing scripts until the visitor agrees.
• Nano 301 adds a redirect manager. It writes 301 redirects into your .htaccess for you, with no .htaccess knowledge needed.

The Nano Suite page covers each one properly, with what it does, what it needs, and a download.

The one thing we ask

Leave the small credit link back to Digital Fracture where it is. That link is how most people find these tools, and it is what pays for them being free. It is a request rather than a condition of the MIT licence, and we would rather ask than enforce.

If you bought a licence before

Nothing is being taken away. Licences sold before September 2026 removed the credit link, they were verified on your own server rather than ours, and they carry on working exactly as they did. Nothing needs renewing and nothing expires. We simply do not sell them any more. If you have a question about one you already own, get in touch.

Where to get the tools

All five are on GitHub, with a release you can download and a README for each one.

Support

These are free tools, given away as they are, so there is no support desk behind them. Each product's README covers installing it, and its GitHub issues page is the place to report a fault. If you would rather we set one up for you, that is part of what we do when we build a site.

Legal

The MIT licence text ships with every download, and that is the licence governing your use of the software. Digital Fracture is a UK sole trader, and anything else on this page is governed by the laws of England and Wales. For questions, use the contact form.
