What is SOAR@SU?

  • License your project ( e.g., select the license type from the drop-down menu, e.g. a Creative Common license) (optional)
  • Submit the SOAR@SU Distribution license, agreeing to grant SOAR@SU a non-exclusive right to reproduce, publicly display, and distribute your project at no cost to users world-wide
