# Asset licensing

The [MIT license](./LICENSE) in this repository covers our source code. It does not cover
|
||||
every file in the tree.
|
||||
The [MIT license](./LICENSE) in this repository covers our source code. It does not cover every file in the tree.
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the images, icons, fonts, and brand assets here are licensed to Bluesky Social PBC
|
||||
by third parties, or are our trademarks, or are third-party trademarks. We cannot pass those
|
||||
rights on to you. This document identifies them.
|
||||
Some of the images, icons, fonts, and brand assets here are licensed to Bluesky Social PBC by third parties, or are our trademarks, or are third-party trademarks. We cannot pass those rights on to you. This document identifies them and names who holds them.
|
||||
|
||||
We should have written this down sooner. If you have already forked this repository and
|
||||
shipped one of the assets listed below, we are not treating that as bad faith on your part —
|
||||
the repository did not tell you, and that is our fault. Please work through the
|
||||
[If you are forking](#if-you-are-forking) checklist when you can.
|
||||
## This is not a license change
|
||||
|
||||
Assets are scoped by directory wherever possible, so that adding a file to a carved-out
|
||||
directory does not require an edit here. Individual paths are listed only where an asset does
|
||||
not sit in a dedicated directory.
|
||||
The MIT license on our source code is unchanged. This document records rights that Bluesky never held, and therefore could never have granted you.
|
||||
|
||||
**The rule:** if a file is listed in this document, the MIT license does not grant you rights
|
||||
to it. Everything in [Section 6](#6-third-party-assets-you-may-redistribute) is redistributable
|
||||
on its own terms, which travel with the files.
|
||||
We updated this file in August 2026 so the repository no longer carries a blanket MIT license with no asset carve-out and forking guidelines that ignored commissioned artwork.
|
||||
|
||||
For the assets Bluesky itself owns, we are not treating anyone's past use as bad faith. For the rest we are not the rights holder. The tables below name them. If you have shipped one of these in a fork, the [If you are forking](#if-you-are-forking) checklist is the shortest path to a clean position.

Build output under `bskyweb/static/media/` also contains compiled Inter files. They are the same OFL-licensed typeface, emitted by the web build. The bundled Inter license does not designate a Reserved Font Name.

**One thing to watch on Inter:** OFL 1.1 includes a Reserved Font Name provision. If you modify
|

or subset the font, the result cannot be distributed under the name "Inter."

The OG card build downloads Noto Sans fonts into `bskyogcard/src/assets/fonts/` and copies them into its build output. Their copyright notices and OFL text are in [`bskyogcard/src/assets/fonts/OFL-NOTO.txt`](./bskyogcard/src/assets/fonts/OFL-NOTO.txt). The CJK fonts reserve the name "Source."

5. **Replace or remove the community artwork** in
|
||||
[Section 4](#4-community-and-contest-artwork--credited-but-not-ours-to-license).
|

|
||||
7. **Keep the license notices** for the assets in
|
||||
[Section 6](#6-third-party-assets-you-may-redistribute).
|

## Questions
|
||||
|
||||
If something in this repository looks like it should be on this list and is not, or if you are
|
||||
unsure whether an asset is covered, open an issue or email us and we will sort it out. We would
|
||||
much rather answer the question than have someone guess.
|
||||
If something in this repository looks like it should be on this list and is not, if a rights holder named here is wrong, or if you are unsure whether an asset is covered, open an issue or email [atmosphere@blueskyweb.xyz](mailto:atmosphere@blueskyweb.xyz).

## History
|
||||
|
||||
- **August 2026** — this document added, along with [`NOTICE.md`](./NOTICE.md), per-directory notices, and the required Apache 2.0 and OFL license texts. It documents pre-existing rights; it does not change the [MIT license](./LICENSE) or relicense any file.
|
||||
- **Before that** — the repository carried a blanket MIT license with no asset carve-out, and the forking guidelines did not mention commissioned artwork, trademarks, or licensed icons.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
PREAMBLE
|
||||
The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide
|
||||
development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation
|
||||
efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and
|
||||
open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership
|
||||
with others.
|
||||
|
||||
The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and
|
||||
redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The
|
||||
fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded,
|
||||
redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved
|
||||
names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives,
|
||||
however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The
|
||||
requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply
|
||||
to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.
|
||||
|
||||
DEFINITIONS
|
||||
"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright
|
||||
Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may
|
||||
include source files, build scripts and documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the
|
||||
copyright statement(s).
|
||||
|
||||
"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as
|
||||
distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).
|
||||
|
||||
"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting,
|
||||
or substituting -- in part or in whole -- any of the components of the
|
||||
Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a
|
||||
new environment.
|
||||
|
||||
"Author" refers to any designer, engineer, programmer, technical
|
||||
writer or other person who contributed to the Font Software.
|
||||
|
||||
PERMISSION & CONDITIONS
|
||||
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
|
||||
a copy of the Font Software, to use, study, copy, merge, embed, modify,
|
||||
redistribute, and sell modified and unmodified copies of the Font
|
||||
Software, subject to the following conditions:
|
||||
|
||||
1) Neither the Font Software nor any of its individual components,
|
||||
in Original or Modified Versions, may be sold by itself.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
|
||||
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
|
||||
contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
|
||||
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
|
||||
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
|
||||
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.
|
||||
|
||||
3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
|
||||
Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
|
||||
Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
|
||||
presented to the users.
|
||||
|
||||
4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font
|
||||
Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any
|
||||
Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the
|
||||
Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written
|
||||
permission.
|
||||
|
||||
5) The Font Software, modified or unmodified, in part or in whole,
|
||||
must be distributed entirely under this license, and must not be
|
||||
distributed under any other license. The requirement for fonts to
|
||||
remain under this license does not apply to any document created
|
||||
using the Font Software.
|
||||
|
||||
TERMINATION
|
||||
This license becomes null and void if any of the above conditions are
|
||||
not met.
|
||||
|
||||

# Font licensing
|
||||
|
||||
Inter is licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1. The full license text is at
|
||||
[`assets/fonts/inter/OFL.txt`](../../../../assets/fonts/inter/OFL.txt) and must travel with these
|
||||
files.
|
||||
This directory contains Inter subsets tracked in the repository and Noto Sans fonts downloaded during the OG card build. Both are separately licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1, rather than Bluesky's [MIT license](../../../../LICENSE).
|
||||
|
||||

Copyright (c) 2016 The Inter Project Authors (https://github.com/rsms/inter)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**You may redistribute these files.** They are not carved out of our
|
||||
[MIT license](../../../../LICENSE) — this notice exists because the OFL requires it.
|
||||
The tracked `Inter-Bold.ttf`, `Inter-Regular.ttf`, and `Inter-SemiBold.ttf` files are subsets of [Inter](https://rsms.me/inter/) by Rasmus Andersson. The full license text is at [`assets/fonts/inter/OFL.txt`](../../../../assets/fonts/inter/OFL.txt). The bundled OFL does not designate a Reserved Font Name.
|
||||
|
||||
**One thing to watch:** OFL 1.1 includes a Reserved Font Name provision. If you modify or subset
|
||||
the font further, you may not distribute the result under the name "Inter."
|
||||
## Noto Sans
|
||||
|
||||
[`bskyogcard/scripts/install-fonts.ts`](../../../scripts/install-fonts.ts) downloads Noto Sans Arabic, Hebrew, HK, JP, KR, SC, TC, and Thai into this directory. The build copies them into `bskyogcard/dist/assets/fonts/`, and the Docker image contains both locations.
