There’s a total of 26 examples for SharePoint 2013, covering all kinds of topics.  Each one has their own Visual Studio solution file, project file, and the associated necessary files to start off your App.  Each one also comes with a description HTML file detailing the prerequisites and many other details. 

Finally, yes, all of these examples use the open Apache 2.0 license, enabling you to use the code freely, without worry that you’ll be violating any terms by including it in your solutions.
