Creative Commons Forum Rules (2012-06-01)
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2012 7:40 pm
This forum is a place for generous creators to post assets that are either in the public domain or have a license that allows them to be used by other creators without having to ask permission.
This forum is mostly for game assets, either individually or in collections. Open-licensed games should have their own threads in the completed games section, but posting a link from the games thread in this forum will let people know your game is under an open license. Open-licensed Ren'Py code snippets should be placed in the Ren'Py Cookbook forum, rather than this one.
There are a few rules for this forum:
(1) Everything in this thread should either be in the public domain, or under a license that allows it to be re-used in all games. The following licenses are fine:
Creative Commons Attribution
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike
Some CC licenses are not okay:
Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs
That's because the no-derivative licenses prevent people from making a game with your assets. Other open licenses may be fine, as long as they do not require subjective decisions to be made. Post here and ask if a license is suitable.
The license you chose should be clearly indicated in your post. Otherwise, the thread will be moved to the appropriate asset forum.
(2) The subject should indicate the type of asset involved and the license it's under. For example "[CC BY-SA] High School Girl Sprites".
(3) The body should be relatively descriptive, so people using the forum's search function can find what you post.
