The CPDL copyright license applies to all scores and texts which reside on the CPDL server, unless otherwise indicated.

The CPDL license is based on the GNU GPL License, which is very common in software development. The CPDL license is a type of open-source license which allows users to download, print, copy, and distribute a score freely. The only restriction is that, if any changes are made to a score or text, the subsequent modified version must still be released under the same license conditions.

CPDL also supports Creative Commons licensing, provided such licensing allows cost-free use (including performance and derivative works) of works hosted on CPDL; the license may require giving proper credit.

Note: Not all the scores which are listed on CPDL actually reside on the CPDL server. Some links point to third-party websites which may have different copyright conditions attached. Check the sites in question for more details.

If you are a copyright holder and believe your work is being infringed on CPDL: CPDL respects the intellectual rights of others. It it our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of repeat infringers. If you are a copyright holder and believe your work is being infringed on CPDL, please notify us via the contact information available if you click here (this information is also filed in the U.S. Copyright Office's Directory of Service Provider Agents for Notification of Claims of Infringement).

CPDL is based in the United States of America.
