### What should I know about Orbit's licensing?

L3 Orbit chains that settle to DAO-governed chains like Arbitrum One and Nova can be permissionlessly deployed without restrictions. For Orbit chains that are settling to any other Ethereum chain, the [Arbitrum Orbit Expansion program](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/the-arbitrum-expansion-program-and-developer-guild/20722) creates a self-service path to launching. Via the permissionless revenue-sharing model of the program, Orbit chains are granted the rights to build customized L2s or L3s (or L4s and beyond) that settle to Ethereum directly or other Ethereum chains, such as optimistic rollups, zk-rollups, optimiums, and validiums.
You can launch any Orbit chain permissionlessly. Nitro is licensed under a Business Source license, similar to DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Aave, among others. This license contains an Additional Use Grant that permits the permissionless deployment of Nitro software on blockchains that settle to Arbitrum One or Nova. However, Orbit chains that settle to a parent chain other than Arbitrum One or Nova are subject to additional licensing guidelines under the [AEP](https://docs.arbitrum.foundation/aep/ArbitrumExpansionProgramTerms.pdf).

### I'd love to tinker with Orbit! What should I do next?
