The one page that prevents every licensing email
Answer five questions — commercial use? credit required? resale forbidden? — and get a clean license card to drop in the pack ZIP. Buyers stop guessing; you stop answering the same DM.
Nothing is uploaded — your audio never leaves your device.
Two lines are fixed in this template on purpose: reselling or redistributing the samples themselves is always forbidden (that's what makes a pack sellable), and the license is non-exclusive.
License sorted. Now put the pack somewhere it can sell.
KitDL's hosted pack pages are coming — share links with streaming previews and your license attached. The studio makes the packs meanwhile: 3 full packs free.
Write the license before the first sale, not after the first dispute
Almost every sample-pack argument on the internet — can I use this in a song I'm selling? do I have to credit you? why is my kick drum in someone else's pack? — traces back to a ZIP that shipped without terms. "Royalty-free" on the store page is a vibe, not a document. The buyer's rights live wherever you wrote them down, and if you wrote them nowhere, you've outsourced your licensing policy to whatever the buyer assumes.
The good news is that pack licensing is genuinely simple, because the industry has converged on one model: the buyer pays once, uses the samples in their own music forever — including commercial releases — and never redistributes the samples themselves, alone or repackaged. Everything else is a dial. Credit: most sellers make it appreciated rather than required, because required credit is unenforceable and buyers know it. Exclusivity: packs are non-exclusive by definition; a thousand people bought the same kick. And the newest dial, the one older templates don't have: whether your sounds may be used to train AI audio models. This generator makes that an explicit line in either direction, because silence on the question is the worst position a seller can hold in 2026.
Drop the finished LICENSE.txt in the ZIP root, paste the same text on the sales page, and the overwhelming majority of disputes end before they start — with "the license says." For a catalog earning real money, pay an attorney to harden your standard terms once; this card is the honest, plain-language starting point they'll edit rather than replace.
Frequently asked questions
What should a sample pack license cover?
Four things, plainly: what buyers CAN do (use samples in their own music, including commercial releases), what they CAN'T (resell or redistribute the samples themselves, alone or in another pack), whether credit is required or appreciated, and how to reach you for other uses. This generator words exactly those.
What does 'royalty-free' actually mean?
The buyer pays once and owes no ongoing royalties for using the samples in their music — the standard model for packs. It does NOT mean the samples are free to redistribute; your license card is where that line gets drawn in writing.
Is this legally binding?
It's clear written terms accompanying a sale, which counts for a lot in practice — most disputes end at 'the license says.' For a business at real scale, have an attorney review your standard terms; this card is the honest starting template.
Where should the license live?
A LICENSE.txt (this card's copy button) in the ZIP root, and the same text on the pack's sales page. In-the-box plus at-the-checkout covers everyone.
