Personal use, commercial physical products and digital resale or redistribution are permitted on every account tier under each file's applicable licence. MyLaserTools grants only rights it controls. Public-domain originals retain their independent rights; preserve the copyright and licence notices required by MIT and other source licences. Sparks pay for file preparation, hosting and access, not exclusive ownership of historical originals. Browsing is open to everyone. Generated collections download with a free account; a paid artwork unlock costs 2 sparks, or the published library is included while Supporter or Pro access is active. Artwork unlocked with sparks can be downloaded again without another charge while it remains published. Membership-only downloads do not become permanent spark unlocks.

Line art is supplied as SVG for laser cutting, engraving, CNC and vinyl. Where the print library is enabled, its published vector prints are supplied as SVG for printing. Raster plates are not currently published. Alphabets are supplied as installable fonts.
