Choosing a license
Licensing made easy
At 1TM, you can easily choose a desired license by simply answering a few questions.
1TM user can choose from both NFT Commons and Creative Commons License by simply asking a few questions about the purpose of sharing.
The best way to decide which is appropriate for you is to think about why you want to share your work, and how you hope others will use that work.
Supported License Standards
1. Creative Commons License
Creative Commons is one of the most widely used public license framework. 1TM lets users choose from the 6 standard CC licenses through a license chooser.
2. NFT Commons
NFT Commons is the first NFT-based copyright license standard made for creators who are sharing their works through NFTs.
NFT Commons is built upon CC 4.0 license, but unlike CC 4.0, it is not a public license where the copyright is licensed to the general public, but it is a holder-only license where the license is granted only to the token holder(s).

Conceptual Flow
Before Licensing
Before you apply a CC license or CC0 to your work, there are some important things to consider:
The licenses and CC0 cannot be revoked. This means once you apply a CC license to your material, anyone who receives it may rely on that license for as long as the material is protected by copyright, even if you later stop distributing it.
You must own or control copyright in the work. Only the copyright holder or someone with express permission from the copyright holder can apply a CC license or CC0 to a copyrighted work. If you created a work in the scope of your job, you may not be the holder of the copyright.
