Public registry codes and upstream-sourced metadata stay free under CC-BY 4.0 (attribution to MLC, CISAC, MusicBrainz, ISNI.org, Spotify, Apple). The Credits Graph — the verified network of music connections, per-connection provenance, and verified absence — is Credits' own derived work product; advanced programmatic access at depth and scale is licensed under a paid plan or earned access.
