# NaPoGenMo2017

The source code does not have to be licensed in a particular way, so long as you share it. The code itself does not need to be on GitHub, either. I'm just using this repo as a place to organize the community.

The "poem" is defined however you want. It could be 49,999 repetitions of the word "meow". It could literally grab a random poem from Project Gutenberg. It doesn't matter, as long as it's < 50K words (since 50K+ words would [be a novel](https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2015).

Please try to respect copyright. I'm not going to police it, as ultimately it's on your head if you want to just copy/paste a Allen Ginsberg Poem or whatever, but the most useful/interesting implementations are going to be ones that don't engender lawsuits.

There's an [open issue](../../issues/1) where you can add resources (libraries, corpuses, APIs, techniques, etc).

There are already a ton of resources on the old resources thread for the [2015 edition](https://github.com/NaPoGenMo/NaPoGenMo2015/issues/1).
