<license>

The <license> element states the terms this score is published under.

The terms cover the score as a document, not the music. Traditional repertoire is generally not anyone’s to license, but a transcription of it is a piece of work with an author, and a file that travels between people benefits from saying where it stands.

Text. A URL or a standard identifier is easier for tools to act on than a prose description.

  • Optional, and at most one per score.
  • Leaving it out says nothing about the terms. It does not imply the score is in the public domain.

Licensing is not conventionally printed on a Thai score. See The title band.
