4Intellectual property
The Noctave name and logo, the app, this website, their texts, visuals and code belong to the publisher unless stated otherwise. You may not reproduce, modify or distribute them without his written consent, beyond what the law allows (short quotation, private copy). This reservation does not apply to the components and content under free licences listed in the app (catalogue scores, libraries, fonts): they remain governed by their own licence, and nothing here restricts the rights it gives you.
The pieces in the catalog are public domain works. Their editions (score files) come from free sources or were written for Noctave; each keeps its license (CC0, CC BY or CC BY-SA) and attribution, listed in the app: Settings › Account and app › Licences, entry “Scores of the Noctave catalogue”, and in each piece's details.
