FreeMix License Framework

FreeMix uses a purpose-built licensing system for music. Six tiers, five modifiers, infinite combinations — all machine-readable and built into the protocol.

License Tiers

Six purpose-built licenses for how music actually gets used.

FM:OPEN

Your track is free for everyone. Anyone can remix, share, or use it commercially — no permissions needed.

FM:REMIX

Others can remix and sample your track, including for commercial release.

FM:Non-Commercial

Others can remix and use your track for personal projects, DJ sets, and mixtapes but can't be sold without a separate agreement.

FM:STEMS

You're sharing your stems so other producers can use them to create remixes, mashups, or edits. The full track stays protected — only the individual parts are available.

FM:DJ

DJs can play your track in sets, on radio, and livestreams — anywhere they perform. The source files can't be shared or redistributed.

FM:SAMPLES

You're providing royalty-free samples for other producers to build with.

Plus modifiers for every workflow: Credit (require attribution), ShareAlike (sets downstream rights), Royalty (set a rate and earn when the track or any remixes sell), and NoAI (opt out of machine learning).
