Set a project license

You set the license under License in Settings for the project. You can choose a template, or write the text yourself.

The Owner and Admins can set it for a CMS project. For a Visualizer project, the Owner, Admins, and Writers can set it.

Choose a license from a template

When you choose a template, its full text becomes the license text. The templates you can choose differ between a CMS project and a Visualizer project. For the templates for a CMS project, see README / License.

Choosing a template replaces the text

There is no operation that brings the text in the field back to the state it was in before you chose one.

1. On the License screen, click Choose a license template. The list opens.
2. Choose a license from the list. The text becomes the full text of that template, and the Edit and Preview tabs appear.
3. If the text has places for you to fill in, fill them in on the Edit tab. The places you fill in are enclosed in square brackets ([ ]) or angle brackets (< >). The places differ by template: in the MIT License they are [year] and [fullname]. They are not filled in automatically.
4. Click Save changes.

Once you save, License updated appears.

To remove the license, follow these steps.

1. On the License screen, click Choose a license template.
2. Choose No license from the list. The text becomes empty.
3. Click Save changes.

Write the license text yourself

You can write the license text in Markdown.

1. On the License screen, click the Edit button.
2. Enter the text in the Edit tab.
3. Open the Preview tab and check how it looks.
4. Click Save changes.
