# License Information
The .NET projects uses the MIT license for source and binaries.
## Third-party code
The project includes source from other projects, as described in third-party notices, for example in the [dotnet/runtime repo](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT). Only permissively licensed code is allowed, in accordance with [project policies](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#copying-files-from-other-projects).
## Redistribution
Binaries produced by .NET SDK compilers (C#, F#, VB) can be redistributed without additional restrictions. The only restrictions are based on the license of the compiler inputs used to produce the binary.
Parts of the .NET runtime embedded in applications, including [platform-specific executable hosts](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/deploy-with-cli#framework-dependent-executable), and [self-contained deployments](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/deploy-with-cli#self-contained-deployment), are subject to [.NET](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT) and [third-party notice](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt) license terms.
Binaries that target Windows are subject to [additional terms](license-information-windows.md).
This document is provided for informative purposes only and is not itself a license.
