What to do? NAM with MIT & RTNeural with BSD 3-Clause Licenses

[JulesV]

Folks I really need help for the license of the Neural syetems. Sorry for the noob license knowledge.

• NAM uses MIT License: https://github.com/sdatkinson/neural-amp-modeler?tab=MIT-1-ov-file
• RTNeural uses BSD 3-Clause License: https://github.com/jatinchowdhury18/RTNeural?tab=BSD-3-Clause-1-ov-file

To clarify,

---

For NAM:

To use the NAM inside the plugin, we don't need to mention anything, do anything, or make it open source, right?

---

For RTNeural:
if we want to build a plugin RTNeural inside;

“This product includes RTNeural, Copyright (c) 2026, jatinchowdhury18, licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License.”

Is it enough to just write the text inside the plugin's Credits page? Or anything else we need to do?

Correct.

This is what it says in the license:

Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice,
this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation
and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

So you need to include the whole license basically (list of conditions and disclaimer) and you can put it in your installer or documentation, you don't need to display it within the plugin.

Thank you for the info.

I think installer way is better. But my installer already contains my own license text. So do I need to paste this license text into my own license text file?

@JulesV Yes you can put multiple licenses in the license file, just make sure it's clear where one ends and the next starts. With mine I put a quick explainer at the top.
