The license expressly forbids resale, re-licensing, or other distribution of my music, either as is, or any modification thereof.

You may not use, modify, resell, sub-license, assign, transfer, otherwise make available or permit access by any third party to my music, except as in cases expressly authorized by the license, as per the usage table presented in the Allowed Usage section.

You are not required to credit MikS Music in your project but you may not claim the music as your own work.

You may not claim ownership of the music (or otherwise make it available) through YouTube’s Content ID system.

The license is not transferable. You may not re-sell or “loan” the music to others. However, you can pass the music and the license to your client if you are contracted to create the final product (for example, if you are hired to produce a corporate video).
