# Licence and attribution

NOTICE says which licence applies to which path, names the CDM release the schema derives from, and says what the schema carries and leaves out. It also carries the FpML Public License notice for the FpML coding schemes in FINOS's tree, whose licensor is ISDA, and says that the schema takes their codes and canonical URIs alone.[^notice]
