Frequently asked questions
Which license should I pick?
MIT for maximum reuse, Apache 2.0 if you want an explicit patent grant, GPL-3.0 if derivatives must stay open source. This is not legal advice.
Is the Open Source License Generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Is the output random every time?
Yes. Values are generated fresh on each run in your browser; nothing is stored, so copy or download what you need.
