# License Information
|
|
|
|
The .NET project uses source and binaries from multiple sources that may be important to your use of .NET.
|
|
|
|
This document is provided for informative purposes only and is not itself a license.
|
|
|
|
## Source code
|
|
|
|
.NET source uses the MIT license.
|
|
|
|
[Each repo](./Documentation/core-repos.md) has:
|
|
|
|
- A license, for example, [dotnet/runtime LICENSE.TXT](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT).
|
|
- Third party notice file, for example, [dotnet/runtime THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT)
|
|

## Product distributions
|
|
|
|
Product distributions use the following license:
|
|
|
|
- On Linux and macOS: [MIT license](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/LICENSE.TXT)
|
|
- On Windows: [.NET Library License](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/dotnet_library_license.htm)
|
|
|
|
Product distributions include [downloadable assets](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet) and [runtime packs](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime.win-x64/).
|
|

|
## Package distributions
|
|
|
|
Library packages use the MIT license, for example [System.Text.Json](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Text.Json).
|
|
|
|
## 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.
|
|
|
|
Applications are subject to the same terms as are covered by "Product distributions" and "Package distibutions", above.
|
|
|
|
Parts of the .NET runtime are 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).
