Media Licensing

Proper licensing of media assets is critical for maintaining legal compliance and respecting intellectual property rights. This section governs the attribution and usage permissions for images and audio content within the application. Select licenses carefully based on the content’s origin, intended use, and distribution requirements. Always confirm you possess adequate rights before applying any license designation.
