I plan to set up a virtual math school and record courses. The presentations will be created using Metropolis. Do I have to make these lessons available under a CC license? I don't know how to understand the sentence: "This does not affect the presentation that you create with the theme.".

A bit late to the party, but here is what it means.

  • If you use the theme as-it-is for a presentation, then the presentation should not be under some particular license.
  • If you change the theme (i.e. edit the .dtxor .styfiles in any way), and make the presentation, the presentation should still not be under some particular license. BUT:
    • if you DO share your modified theme with others, the modified theme should be under CC-BY-SA 4.0
    • if DO NOT share your modified theme and keep it for yourself, then you have nothing to do
