+## NSFs, Exported music, modules, etc.
+
+The licenses mentioned for the NSF driver and the tracker source do not apply to
+exported media made with the program that does not contain executable code that
+resembles any source file, such as exported `.wav`s, `.txt`s, `.json`s, or `.csv`s.
+
+[jsr's comment on music created with FT.](http://forums.famitracker.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=122&p=741#p741)
+
+However, NSFs/ROMs contain machine code that more or less corresponds to the NSF
+driver source, and thus the software licenses may apply. More details can be
+found [in the NSF source's license](./Source/drivers/asm/LICENSE.md).
+
+This does not apply to exported assembly or binary music data, as they do not
+include the NSF driver data.
+
+## NSF driver source code
+
+Dn-FT NSF driver changes are under GPL v2 due to 0CC-FT. More details can be
+found [in the NSF source's license](./Source/drivers/asm/LICENSE.md).

-### NSF Driver
-
-On the FamiTracker website, the NSF driver code is distributed separately from the rest of the source code. This is because jsr wanted to license the driver under a more permissive license than GPL 2, but didn't seem to get around doing so.
-
-HertzDevil erroneously licensed the modified 0CC-FamiTracker NSF driver code under GPL v2, which restricts anyone sharing compiled NSFs and binaries without sharing the assembly source.
-
-Therefore, Dn-FT NSF driver changes are distributed under a separate MIT-0 license, while 0CC FT NSF driver changes are distributed under GPL v2.
-
-The remaining original FT driver code is not under any license.
-
-See [the license file](Source/drivers/asm/LICENSE) for more information.
+The application is distributed under the
+[GPLv3+ license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), or any later
+version.
+
+For more details, view the [license](LICENSE.md).
