Licenses & Attributions
Last updated: June 13, 2026
We built NeLocker to be clean. Every prompt in the library is either written by us, in the public domain, or openly licensed with attribution preserved. We deliberately exclude leaked or extracted proprietary prompts. Here's exactly what each license means and who we credit.
The licenses, in plain English
- CC0 1.0 (Public Domain): the creator waived all copyright and dedicated the work to the public domain. Anyone can use it for any purpose, including commercially, with no attribution required. The cleanest possible license.
- MIT License: a permissive open-source license. The work may be used freely, including commercially and in a paid product, provided the original copyright and license notice are preserved. We preserve those notices on this page.
- Original: written in-house by NeLocker / WeKnowTech, an LMK product. Fully owned by us. These are the crown jewels of the paid library and may not be copied or redistributed.
What subscribers are paying for
A subscription is for access to the curated, organized platform — not for ownership of the underlying open-licensed prompts. Public-domain and MIT prompts remain free at their sources; you're paying for the curation, organization, guides, and our original work.
Attributions
We gratefully credit the following open sources, with their licenses preserved:
- prompts.chat — github.com/f/prompts.chat — prompt content dedicated to the public domain under CC0-1.0.
- langgptai/awesome-claude-prompts — repo — MIT, © yzfly (云中江树).
- convertscout/awesome-ai-prompts — repo — MIT, © 2024 Lovable Directory.
- aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts — repo — MIT.
What we exclude
We do not include leaked or reverse-engineered system prompts extracted from commercial products, because their copyright status is unclear. Keeping the library clean protects both us and our subscribers.
