# License

> License terms for Raydium's on-chain programs, the TypeScript SDK, and this documentation. Trademark notes for the Raydium name and logo.

<Info>
  Raydium publishes its programs and SDK as open source. License terms differ between repositories — the on-chain programs are Apache-2.0, the TypeScript SDK is GPL-3.0. The canonical text is the `LICENSE` file in each repository; this page summarises but does not replace it.

## On-chain programs

The deployed Raydium programs are published with their full source under the **Apache License 2.0**.

| Repository                                                         | License    | Coverage                                                            |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`raydium-amm`](https://github.com/raydium-io/raydium-amm)         | Apache-2.0 | AMM v4 (constant-product, OpenBook-integrated).                     |
| [`raydium-cp-swap`](https://github.com/raydium-io/raydium-cp-swap) | Apache-2.0 | CPMM (standard constant-product, no orderbook, Token-2022 capable). |
| [`raydium-clmm`](https://github.com/raydium-io/raydium-clmm)       | Apache-2.0 | CLMM (concentrated liquidity, sqrt-price ticks).                    |

Apache-2.0 grants you the rights to use, modify, distribute, and sublicense the code, including for commercial purposes, subject to the conditions in the license text — primarily attribution preservation and a patent grant. It does **not** require derivative works to also be Apache-2.0 (unlike GPL-family licenses).

For Farm and LaunchLab program licenses, check the `LICENSE` file in their respective repositories under the [Raydium GitHub organization](https://github.com/raydium-io). Licenses can be updated at the repository owner's discretion; the `LICENSE` file at `master` (or `main`) is the source of truth.

## TypeScript SDK

The official SDK package `@raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2` is licensed under **GPL-3.0**.

| Package                                     | License            | Repository                                                                 |
| ------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `@raydium-io/raydium-sdk-v2`                | GPL-3.0            | [`raydium-sdk-V2`](https://github.com/raydium-io/raydium-sdk-V2)           |
| `raydium-sdk-V2-demo` (sample integrations) | See repo `LICENSE` | [`raydium-sdk-V2-demo`](https://github.com/raydium-io/raydium-sdk-V2-demo) |

GPL-3.0 is a strong copyleft license. Implications for your project:

* **Linking matters.** If you embed the SDK and distribute the result (binary, npm package, hosted service), the distributed work generally has to be GPL-3.0 too.
* **SaaS exception.** GPL-3.0 (unlike AGPL-3.0) does not require source disclosure for purely networked use — i.e. running the SDK server-side and exposing only its results over an API does not by itself trigger source-disclosure obligations.
* **Patent grant.** GPL-3.0 includes an explicit patent grant from contributors covering their contributions.

If your use case is incompatible with GPL-3.0 — for example, you're building proprietary closed-source software that statically links the SDK and ships it to end-users — talk to the Raydium team via Discord (`#dev-support`) before you ship. Alternative arrangements are sometimes possible. **Don't assume** an unlicensed alternative exists; assume GPL-3.0 unless you have written agreement otherwise.

## REST and Trade APIs

The HTTP APIs at `api-v3.raydium.io` and `transaction-v1.raydium.io` are services, not licensed code. Usage is governed by the implicit terms of service of the hosted endpoints — primarily reasonable rate limits, no abuse, and no claims of warranty. See [`sdk-api/rest-api`](/sdk-api/rest-api) for details.

These APIs are operated as a public good for ecosystem integrators. Heavy commercial use should be coordinated with the team to avoid being rate-limited.

## Documentation

This documentation set is published by the Raydium project. Unless an individual page states otherwise, the prose, code samples, and examples on this site are made available under **Creative Commons Attribution 4.0** (CC-BY-4.0).

You may:

* Quote, excerpt, or republish content from these docs.
* Translate the docs into other languages.
* Use the code samples (which are functionally short illustrations) directly in your project.

You should:

* Provide visible attribution to "Raydium documentation" with a link back to `docs.raydium.io`.
* Not represent your derivative as the official Raydium documentation.

If you spot a mistake or want to suggest a change, every page has a "Suggest edit" button (top-right), or open a PR / issue against the docs repo.

## Trademarks

The following are trademarks (registered or unregistered) of the Raydium project:

* The "Raydium" name and word mark.
* The Raydium logo and symbol mark.
* The "LaunchLab" product name in association with Raydium's bonding-curve venue.

Trademark rights are **separate from copyright and license rights**. Apache-2.0 and GPL-3.0 grant you the right to use the *code* — they do not grant you the right to use the *Raydium name and logo* in your derivative product. Trademark use is governed by the [Brand kit](/resources/brand-kit), which permits attributions like "powered by Raydium" and forbids implications of partnership without explicit agreement.

If you fork the code and ship a derivative protocol, you must:

* Comply with the source license (Apache-2.0 / GPL-3.0).
* Choose your own name and visual identity. **Don't** call your fork "Raydium X" or use the Raydium logo.
* Make clear in your README that you have forked the original Raydium code and are not affiliated with the Raydium project.

## Disclaimer of warranties

All code and documentation is provided **"as is," without warranty of any kind**, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. The full warranty disclaimer text lives in each repository's `LICENSE` file.

In plain English: the Raydium project does not guarantee that the code is bug-free, that the on-chain state is invulnerable, that you will not lose funds. The audits ([`security/audits`](/security/audits)), bug bounty ([`security/disclosure`](/security/disclosure)), and operational controls ([`security/admin-and-multisig`](/security/admin-and-multisig)) are mitigations, not guarantees. Evaluate your own risk before integrating or providing liquidity.

## How to verify

For any specific repository, the canonical license text is the `LICENSE` file at the current `HEAD` of the default branch:

```bash theme={null}
# Apache-2.0 programs
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raydium-io/raydium-cp-swap/master/LICENSE | head -3
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raydium-io/raydium-clmm/master/LICENSE | head -3
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raydium-io/raydium-amm/master/LICENSE | head -3

# GPL-3.0 SDK
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raydium-io/raydium-sdk-V2/master/LICENSE | head -3
```

If the head of these files doesn't match the license claimed on this page, the repository wins — file an issue against the docs.
