Get the license ↓01 — THE WHOLE POINT
A license should not need a decoder ring.
FreeSource is for creators who genuinely mean free.
Not “free until your project makes money.” Not “free if you place our name in the footer.” Not “free except for the useful parts.”
You made something. You want people to use it. FreeSource puts that intention in writing and gets out of the way.
02 — MAKE IT YOURS

03 — TRANSLATED FROM LEGAL
Yes.
- Commercial useAllowed
- ModificationAllowed
- RedistributionAllowed
- ResaleAllowed
- AttributionNot required
- Same-license requirementNone
The only catch: the work comes as-is. The creator does not promise support, warranty, fitness, or liability coverage.
04 — FREQUENTLY OVERCOMPLICATED
Questions with refreshingly boring answers.
FreeSource is intentionally permissive. The FAQ should not be longer than the license.
Can I make money with FreeSource work?+
Yes. Commercial use, inclusion in paid products, and resale are allowed.
Do I have to credit the creator?+
No. Attribution can be appreciated without being mandatory.
Must my version also use FreeSource?+
No. FreeSource does not impose a same-license or share-alike requirement.
Does the creator owe me support?+
No. The work is provided as-is. Support can be offered separately, but the license does not require it.
Has FreeSource been attorney-reviewed?+
FreeSource is written to be readable first. For high-stakes contracts, have a qualified attorney review the language before relying on it in that context.
