L.I.M.A. License is a license for artists in mind.

L.I.M.A. License wants to provide a way for artistic works to keep their integrity intact while at the same time allowing others to modify and distribute modifications.

Specialized in Arts

Our license was specially created to cover the scope of various forms of art. The most common open-source licenses were explicitly designed for computer code.

Collaboration en Masse

The license promotes mutual collaboration between authors and users. We think this is a critical factor in open-source, and we would like others to embrace it.

Fair and Simple

This license equally grants rights and obligations to the parties involved. These are simple to follow, understand, execute, and comply with.

We’ve covered most scenarios so you only had to worry about your work.

Check the list below; these are some of the advantages of a work that uses our license.

#WorkWithLIMA

L.I.M.A. License works for you, your work, and your users.

The intent of this license is to be used for situations where traditional “copyleft” licenses that are meant for machine-readable computer code are used for works that are not software. This license is specially focused in arts and is intended to be used for: visual arts, performing arts, media arts, literary arts and culinary arts.

We believe in the power of collaboration — Art that’s enjoyed by everyone.

This world is but a canvas to our imagination. We are dedicated to our cause of helping artists and protect their work. We also want to ensure that collaboration is vital to the medium of arts.
