.. _doc_best_practices_for_engine_contributors_license_compliance:
Libraries must use a permissive enough license to be included into Godot.
Some examples of acceptable licenses are Apache 2.0, BSD, MIT, ISC, and MPL 2.0.
In particular, we cannot accept libraries licensed under the GPL or LGPL since
these licenses effectively disallow using it in proprietary software
(which Godot is distributed as in most exported projects). This
also applies for libraries that are only linked in the editor.
For more information, see :ref:`doc_licenses`.
