What are Licenses?
Not every buyer needs an item for the same purpose. Let's say you intent to buy a Stock Music instrumental and use it for your Youtube channel. For almost all buyers a "Regular License" is enough to cover their needs. But if for example a company wants to use the track within their large advertisement, they need the item for a different purpose. So Licenses help buyers and sellers to cover different needs and uses of the item.
{primary.fa-envelope} A license gives you the rights to use the item your commercial projects. Different Licenses cover different rights to use an item.
