                     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.

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 
whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes of this License, 
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

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

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

  7. Disclaimer of Warranty. 
  
  Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides 
the Work (and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an “AS IS”

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.

  The Metaplex Foundation may publish revised, newer versions of this License 
from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present 
version but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each 
version will be given a distinguishing version number. If the Work specifies a 
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.
