Freesound Forums

Im creating a game and I intend to use some sounds that are under the Zero or Attribution lisenses.

As i understood these two lisenses give me the option to use the sounds as i want. Providing that i give the proper credits to the original creators. Right?

But... can i also modify the sounds? Even giving the credits?

Hi, most of the times you are absolutely free to modify available sounds here; the only option that prevents you from doing that is the "No Derivatives" clause of the Creative Commons licenses, but I think that's hardly used here, if ever.

So, if you focus on Zero or Attribution licenses, you'll have no problems at all.

If you modify/mix sounds for your purposes, you can also upload them here and use a nice Freesound feature: marking your sounds as remix of the originals; the sounds page will have a link named "Remixes and Sources" that points to a graph that looks like this.

So if i need to modify any sound i'll gladly upload them here.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

But. Can you sell this modified sound in a song? I mean, for example, I do a song that cointains some sounds of freesound.org, and after that I sell it. Can I?

Thanks

If its "Zero": you can use it commercially without crediting

If its "Attribution": You can use it commercially, but you MUST give credit to the author (even if modified)

If its "Attribution non-commercial": you cannot use it in a product you are selling, and obviously you still need to credit the author in any non-commercial works.

You can always ask the creator if it's ok to use the sound outside of the license they designated though. This is allowed, provided they agree, and you have evidence.
