Ever created a rig or animation, but not sure what different licenses are?

Ever wanted someone to be allowed to mess around with your rig and share new versions, but not for money, but didn't know which license to use?

 

Then read on!

 

DIFFERENT LICENCES AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR:

 

 

All Rights Reserved: Nobody can share it, or use it for any commercial purpose, or really do anything. All rights are reserved to you unless you say so.

 

The Unlicence: The opposite of All Rights Reserved. Anyone can do anything, and you can't stop them. Some people may use this for their rigs.

 

CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSES:1

Attribution
CC BY

This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original creation.

Attribution-ShareAlike
CC BY-SA

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft”; free and open source software licenses. All new works based on yours will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use. This is the license used by Wikipedia, and is recommended for materials that would benefit from incorporating content from Wikipedia and similarly licensed projects.

Attribution-NoDerivs
CC BY-ND

This license allows for redistribution, commercial and non-commercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in whole, with credit to you.

Attribution-NonCommercial
CC BY-NC

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, and although their new works must also acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to license their derivative works on the same terms.

Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike
CC BY-NC-SA

This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work non-commercially, as long as they credit you and license their new creations under the identical terms.

Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs
CC BY-NC-ND

This license is the most restrictive of the six creative commons main licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can’t change them in any way or use them commercially.

 

 

You should always clearly mark which license your work uses, and if it uses a CC license, use one of the images.

 

If you liked this, like it!

im confussed.. o_o

When you make content, you can choose to put it under a license which limits what the user can do with the content you made.

 

The problem with it being used on rigs here is that a lot of people value creative freedom, and if they want to edit it for a scene but they aren't allowed, it makes the user mind their limits.

The general consensus is that when you release a rig, it's under a CC Attribution-ShareAlike license. (Can be used and edited, credit must be provided) It seems fair right?

 

You can choose what a user can do with your rig. If you put it under a license, people must oblige to it by law. If violated, you can take legal action.

 

The gray area is asking if people can license something created with a minecraft theme. Is it totally original content? Can it even be put on a license? Who knows?

 

This is actually a really good topic :o, I think the mods should support this for rig's /animations ect for stuff like warning points

You already can. I used it on the Armory, and it makes sense if people want to protect their IP.

 

Though don't take my word for it, check with David and see what he says. I imagine he would think it's okay, albeit a bit silly (maybe)

Because it's always better if stuff like licensing is stricly regulated and managed.
