# License Information

The .NET projects uses the MIT license for source and binaries.

## Third-party code

The project includes source from other projects, as described in third-party notices, for example in the [dotnet/runtime repo](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.TXT). Only permissively licensed code is allowed, in accordance with [project policies](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#copying-files-from-other-projects).

## Redistribution

Binaries produced by .NET SDK compilers (C#, F#, VB) can be redistributed without additional restrictions. The only restrictions are based on the license of the compiler inputs used to produce the binary.
