OpenMoji FAQ

🤔: What's the license of OpenMoji for app / website / book / ad / video ... projects?

Thank you for wanting to use OpenMoji in your project! OpenMoji is published under the Creative Commons Share Alike License 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0). This means you are free to:

  • Share — copy and redistribute OpenMoji in any medium or format
  • Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon OpenMoji
  • for any purpose, even commercially.

Under the following terms:

  • Attribution — You must give OpenMoji appropriate credit, and indicate if changes were made (e.g. like we do in our changelog). You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the OpenMoji Project endorses you or your use.
  • ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license CC BY-SA 4.0 as OpenMoji.

(Bullet points are based on the official license text of CC BY-SA 4.0)

🤔: What is the suggested attribution for OpenMoji?

All emojis designed by OpenMoji – the open-source emoji and icon project. License: CC BY-SA 4.0

🤔: How to attribute OpenMoji in a film / video / youtube clip?

  • Add the suggested OpenMoji attribution to your video description (text below your video e.g. on youtube)
  • Mention OpenMoji e.g. in the credits section at the end, in the voice track or add a small footnote when the first OpenMoji appears

🤔: How can I help or contribute to OpenMoji?

Contributions and help are very welcome! Please check the CONTRIBUTING.md guide!

🤔: I would like to propose a new OpenMoji, how does this work?

Start a conversation on Github with us. For example #84 and #97

🤔: The OpenMoji Black or Colorfont is not working as expected ... is this me?

⚠️ The colorfont version of OpenMoji is in a very early alpha stage and not intended to use in production! Please follow the discussion for updates.

🤔: Is there an "emoji popup" or "emoji picker" available for OpenMoji?

No, we are sorry! This is simply out of scope. But all other ways to consume/use/download OpenMojis are listed under Downloads & Distribution Channels.

🤔: Does the OpenMoji project have a Contributor License Agreement (CLA)?

No. OpenMoji does not have an explicit Contributor License Agreement. We simply go with common practice of many open source projects: "inbound = outbound"! Every Github user already agrees to this via the terms of service of Github:

Whenever you make a contribution to a repository containing notice of a license, you license your contribution under the same terms, and you agree that you have the right to license your contribution under those terms.
