Updated License Terms for Max-Generated Code for Export

With the release of Max 8.5.3 and RNBO 1.1.0, we’ve updated the licensing terms for Max-Generated Code for Export based on customer feedback. The main changes to the licensing terms are as follows:

• Dual licensing support with optional GPLv3 terms for compatibility when integrating exported code with other GPLv3 code.

• Automatic grant of license for commercial uses that do not include the sale, sublicensing, or commercial distribution of software that incorporates this source code. This means that the Licensee is free to use this software for educational, research, and prototyping purposes, to create musical or other creative works with software that incorporates this source code, or any other use that does not constitute selling software that makes use of this source code.

• Clarification of revenue/funding tiers within the license, and automatic grant of license for entities with under $200k revenue/funding for commercial use that *does* include the sale, sublicensing, or commercial distribution of software that incorporates this source code.

We’ve updated our Gen and RNBO code licensing FAQs accordingly.
