Review licensing #1

Closed ExcaliburZero closed 9 years ago

ExcaliburZero commented 9 years ago

Review and decide on the licensing for the various parts of the project. The licensing will be split between the files added by Ren'Py, the code of the game, the art, and the writing/text.

The licensing of the project is currently not set in stone. My recommendations for the licenses to use are as follows:

The CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license for the writing and art will allow the art and writing to be shared as long as credit is given and it will prevent their use for commercial purposes. This will allow for the game to be posted online without issue and prevent people from using the art and writing for commercial purposes. Please read up on the CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 license (through the link above) to get an understanding of exactly what it means.

If you have any concerns or suggestions about the licensing, feel free to let me know.

Hey, Sabre here. As to the licencing for writing and art, it says that it will prevent commercial use. Will it prevent OUR commercial use of it? Furthermore, if....someone....were to take the script and write a light novel adaptation for publishing, would it prevent that person from publishing it? That person being me.

@Sabre-Hecate The license will not prevent you from later reusing the content for other purposes.

The license means that you are allowing other people to use it as defined by the license, however you, as the author, may use the content in any way you wish, as the license only restricts how people other than the author can use it.
