Project License

Thank you for this app, really useful and very cute. I saw it on Steam and bought the Cat skin immediately afterward.

Anyways, what I wanted to ask was what is the project + asset's license? I'm asking because I intend to make a fork and wanted to get permission to reuse the assets from the project.

Hello, thank you so much for enjoying this project ~ very very sorry, Because I haven't learned about the license before, I haven't been sure which license to use. Can you wait for me for about a week? I want to know about each license. I currently prefer the MIT License, but I still want to learn about other licenses.

I will reply to you here before March 26, 2020, and update the license of the software. Thanks again ~

你好，真的很感谢你喜欢这个项目~ 非常非常抱歉， 因为之前没有了解过License，所以就一直没有确定要用哪个License。 您可以等我一周左右的时间吗？我想要去了解下每个License。 我目前比较喜欢的是MIT License，但是我还是想去了解下其他的License。

我会在2020年3月26日之前，在这里回复您，并更新软件的许可的。 再次感谢~

No worries, take all the time you need to decide.

Just an additional thought, you might need a separate license for the artworks/assets if you plan to allow other people to use them (e.g. CC-BY-SA).

I have been deeply troubled by this matter these days. I checked a lot of information. But there is a big problem: I don't quite understand the scope of the license. Does the license include all assets in the project (eg pictures, music, fonts)? ... I have seen that Apache2.0, Mozilla Public License 2.0, MulanPSL2 and other protocols have clearly stipulated that the license scope is the entire software and includes all files in the software. Therefore, I have no idea how to open source this project. I seem to be walking into a dead end. Because the fonts in this project belong to ZCOOL(站酷), I have no right to transfer the copyright of this font (although this font can be used for free). I was too confused, I checked the information for a long time, but no result. I don't know what to do now. I thought it would be simple, but it was complicated by me.

I'm really sorry…… I may need more time, but I really don't know what to do ...

我这几天一直深深的被这个事情困扰着。 我查了很多资料。 但是有一个很大的问题：我不太明白许可证授权的范围，比如MIT许可证，只包含代码吗？还是包括了项目中所有的资产（比如图片、音乐、字体）…… 我看到Apache2.0、Mozilla Public License 2.0、MulanPSL2等协议，都明确规定了，许可范围是整个软件，并且包括软件里的所有文件。 所以，我完全不知道如何去开源这个项目了，我好像走进了一条死路。因为，这个项目中包含的字体，虽然可以免费商用，但字体的版权属于站酷公司，我没有权利转让这个字体的版权。 我太困惑了，我查了好久都没有结果。 我现在完全不知道该怎么办了，我以为这个事情会很简单，但是，却被我搞的很复杂。

真的很对不起…… 我可能还需要多一些的时间，但是我确实不知道该怎么办了……

If the font has it's own open source license then that license follows it. (read the terms of it's license) Art and documentation can be Creative Commons if you like. It's really up to you. You can also just use a different, open font.
