# License The avatar styles and the code that ships them are under different licenses. ## Avatar styles Each style has its own license, listed below and repeated in the `meta` block of the definition itself. The build derives a copy of every definition for the individual package ecosystems, and each copy keeps the license of the file it came from. ### Adventurer Neutral | File |
