METAPLEX(TM) NFT OPEN SOURCE LICENSE
Version 1.0, Oct. 2022
PREAMBLE
As the publisher of the non-fungible token (NFT) standard for the Solana
blockchain, we believe in the set of principles that have guided open source
software development models over the years – Transparency, Collaboration,
Release Early and Often, Community, and Inclusive Meritocracy. Thus, for our
code repository, we have adopted an “Apache-style” licensing scheme. To be
true to our NFT and crypto legacy, however, we do impose some restrictions on
modifying our code that we believe promote the purpose and promise of NFTs in
order to protect the web3 ecosystem.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION

For the purposes of this definition, “control” means: (i) the power, direct or

Copyright © [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
Licensed under the Metaplex(TM) NFT Open Source License, Version 1.0 (the
“License”). Use of this file is only permitted when in compliance with the

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software
distributed under the License is distributed on an “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the
License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations under
the License.
------
“Derivative Works” means any work, whether in Source Code or Object Code,
that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the editorial
revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications represent, as a

Derivative Works shall include works that merely (dynamically or statically)
link or bind by name to the interfaces of the Work and Derivative Works
thereof.
“Distribution” (or “Distribute”) means to do anything with a work that,
without permission, would make You directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer

modification), any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or
receive copies, making it available to the public (either directly or via
remote interaction over a computer network or blockchain), and, in some
countries, other activities as well.
“Competitive Product” means a Derivative Work that is primarily designed to

limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control

communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing
by the copyright owner as “Not a Contribution”.
“Contributor” means Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on behalf of
whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and subsequently
incorporated within the Work.
2. Grant of Copyright License.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby
grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

Work and such Derivative Works in Source Code or Object Code form.
3. Grant of Patent License.

such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such
Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or
by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such
Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any
entity (including a crossclaim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or
contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under
this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is
filed.
4. Distribution.
(a) You may reproduce and Distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works
thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source Code or
Object Code form, provided that You meet the following conditions:
i. You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a
copy of this License;
ii. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that You changed the files;
iii. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative Works that You
Distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from
the Source Code of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain
to any part of the Derivative Works; and
iv. If the Work includes a “NOTICE” text file as part of its Distribution,
then any Derivative Works that You Distribute must include a readable copy
of the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding
those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in
at least one of the following places:
1. within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the Derivative Works;
2. within the Source Code or documentation, if provided along with the
Derivative Works; or
3. within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and wherever
such third-party notices normally appear.
The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do
not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices within
Derivative Works that You Distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the
NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional attribution
notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.
(b) You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may
provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use,
reproduction, or Distribution of Your modifications, or for any such
Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and
Distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in
this License.
(c) Notwithstanding any other section of this License, You may not under any
circumstances make modifications to the Work to use, produce and Distribute
a Derivative Work, in Source Code or Object Code form, that is a Competitive

5. Submission of Contributions.
Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally
submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the
terms and conditions of this License, without any additional terms or
conditions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or
modify the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed with
Licensor regarding such Contributions.
6. Trademarks.

reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
7. Disclaimer of Warranty.
Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides

BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You
are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or
Distributing the Work and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of
permissions under this License.
8. Limitation of Liability.
In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including
negligence), contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such
as deliberate and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any
Contributor be liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect,
special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the Work
(including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage,
computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or
losses), even if such Contributor has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability.
While Distributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to
offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or
other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License.
However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf
and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and
only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for
any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by
reason of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

certain version of the Metaplex(TM) NFT Open Source License, then that version
shall apply. If the Work does not specify a version number of the Metaplex(TM)
NFT Open Source License, then the latest version published by the Metaplex
Foundation shall apply.
