Frequently asked questions
- Is the license generator free?
- Yes — free, no signup.
- Are these the official license texts?
- Yes — the MIT, Apache 2.0, BSD-3, GPL-3 and Unlicense texts are taken from the official OSI / SPDX sources.
- Which license should I pick?
- MIT and Apache 2.0 are the most permissive and widely used. GPL-3 is copyleft. Unlicense is essentially public domain. Pick based on how you want users to be able to redistribute your work.
- Are my details uploaded?
- No — generation runs entirely in your browser.
- Where should I put the LICENSE file?
- At the root of your repo. GitHub auto-detects it and shows the license badge on your repo page.
