How do I use the LICENSE File Generator?

MIT is the most permissive — recommended for open-source libraries Apache 2.0 adds an explicit patent grant — good for corporate contributors GPL 3.0 requires derivative works to also be GPL (copyleft)

Is the LICENSE File Generator free and private?

Yes — it runs in your browser, requires no signup for basic use, and your data never leaves your device. The MIT license has ~30% of all GitHub repos — by far the most popular open-source license.
