What is Licensing?

Licensing is the legal agreement between Unleeshed and partners that grants access to generate and display persona commentary. Without a license, you cannot access a persona’s AI — period.
Licensing protects everyone: you get clear commercial rights, personas get compensated and control their likeness, and audiences get authentic content.
