This is just my interpretation, which may be partially or fully incorrect. Not a lawyer, but I'll do my best to interpret what this means. However, watch out for the phrasing "royalty-free, non-commercial." Which means, basically, "you can play with it but you can't make money off of it." As long as this term DOES NOT appear in the license-you can transform the "file(s)" into another presentation & make money off of it (them). Meaning you gave me "license" (through your offering) to reproduce your original work into an original derivative work of my own. Once I alter your royalty-free creation I've created what US Copyright Law calls an "original derivative" work. Theme - Ringtone - Song-and sell it as my production. I then can-Īlter it into A-A-c-A & add it with other sounds into a full: If you create sound: A-A-b-A & royalty free it with the prohibition that it ( A-A-b-A) can't be sold or offered through you as just A-A-b-A (aka AS IS) to anyone else. What would be the difference in "rendering the project files and releasing the exact songs as your own original content", which is prohibited, and "using the samples etc etc included in the project files is perfectly acceptable? I can't quite grasp it and I'd need to know to decide how to proceed, anybody with a knowledge on the matter please shed a light on this, thanks!Īny sound that IS royalty-free is FREE to use, RE-create into ANOTHER sound as PART of a conglomerated WHOLE sound presentation, & SELL the WHOLE presentation as your own. What exactly is redistribution and repackaging? What does that mean? First it says it's royalty free but then the other part makes me doubt it. However, using the samples, presets, loops, rhythms, melodies, etc included in the project files is perfectly acceptable. However, redistribution and repackaging are strictly prohibited! Rendering the project files and releasing the exact songs as your own original content is prohibited. This is what their terms and conditions say:Īll Cymatics sample packs and soundbanks are 100% royalty free. I've found a melody sample i love on cymatics and plan on using it for a commercial release.
