Hi,

I have made a mobile app that is basically a mp3 player. The app is monetized: users can buy audio packs or subscribe (this is optional).

However in addition to buying audio packs they can also use their own files for free.

I want to allow them to also search the Freesound library directly from the app using the API and download the sounds directly into the app. This would not be a paid feature or behind a subscription, it's just something that I think would be super useful for the users.

So to my question: is this usage non-commercial or do I need to somehow license it?

Thanks.

Hi Sungray,

This would fall into the "commercial use" category and would require a commercial license. Fell free to send me an email and we can discuss further if interested.

Cheers,


frederic

Hi Frederic,

I don't seem to have received a response to my email, did you receive it?

Do you have another preferred way of communication?
