Open Source License Agreements

Licensing guidelines for Salesforce UX open source projects.

LICENSE files at the root of your projects

You may include these files in your projects.

• Source code should be released under BSD Clause-3 (see LICENSE.txt - make sure to change the YEAR)
• All icons and images are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 (see LICENSE-icons-images.txt)
• The font is licensed under our font license (see LICENSE-font.txt)

You should plan to engage with legal team if you intend to use a license other than BSD Clause-3.

License Headers

The shorter version of license text should be added as a comment to all source code and configuration files that support comments.

package.json

Single License

Ideal for projects that only contain code, and don't include icons, images or fonts.

// package.json
{
  ...
  "license": "BSD-3-Clause",
  ...
}

Multiple licenses

For projects like the Lightning Design System that include icons, images and fonts alongside the code.

package.json

{
  ...
  "license": "SEE LICENSE IN README.md",
  ...
}

README.md
