Asking about the license #26

Hi a1studmuffin,

Sorry to contact you like this by creating an issue (do not know how to do so otherwise).

I have purchased many tools to help me in my Sci Fi assets to sell. I am very interested in this plugin to create the basis for my spaceships assets. Meaning, I do not want to sell the results of this plugins directly. Rather, I would like to build upon the generated spaceships using my different tools to create polished and customized ones to sell.

Is this OK?

Regards

Hi @Mohammad-Aliraqi, thanks for checking first. The LICENSE file actually has a specific section covering the procedurally generated content made with this software and all its permutations, which defaults to CC BY 3.0. The main reason I added this was to prevent people generating spaceships with the script, then uploading them verbatim to Turbosquid and other 3D asset sites for resale. Yours is a fairly murky case - if you plan on modifying the spaceships significantly from their original design for resale, I don't have too much issue with this, but if you're only talking about a few minor cosmetic tweaks to get around the licensing, then I am not comfortable with this. The problem is it's very difficult to draw a line in the sand on what's acceptable and what's not since it's so subjective, so I think to play it safe I have to respectfully decline and insist that all assets generated with the script are CC BY 3.0. Thanks for understanding!
