On enter, artists can choose which copyright license they sell their NFTs with. In this article, we take a closer look at the different license types available on enter and what they mean.
The question of rights is one of the most asked questions when it comes to buying NFTs. Are you simply buying a JPEG, or is there more to it?
When creating your NFT on enter, you are prompted to choose which copyright license you want to go with it. Whether you’re looking to sell a license that allows the NFT holder to use the artwork for personal use, entirely transfer the copyright to the holder, or anything in between, enter has got you covered.
