What is a license?

A license is a set of permissions attached to your project. It tells other creators whether they can copy, remix, or build on your work — and under what conditions. By default, projects are "All Rights Reserved," meaning only you can use them.

What does "Copyable" mean?

When you see a project marked as copyable in the gallery, it means the creator chose a license that allows remixing. You can click the "Remix" button to create your own copy and build on their work. The following licenses allow remixing:

Licenses with "ND" (NoDerivs) — CC BY-ND and CC BY-NC-ND — do not allow remixing.
