Just stumbled onto this amazing detailed guide and carefully curated list of libre links and itch.io assets. Thank you, @ssokolow! 🌟
@pink_arcana I just wish things weren't so messy right now. I haven't had time to look for more stuff to add in months.
@ssokolow I think it's super useful as-is! And you had some 3D asset creators that I somehow hadn't come across just searching itch. I hope you don't mind the public link?
(I especially appreciated your explanation of how to comply with copyleft, and your notes on potential gotchas for specific assets.)
@pink_arcana The more public links, the merrier. My stance on that sort of thing is "If I hadn't wanted it to be shared far and wide, I wouldn't have put it on a public site where anyone can find it."
As for the explanation, I'm glad you liked it. I put it up because, over the last couple of decades, I ran into a worrying number of people whose understanding of licensing didn't even reach my IANAL level.
@pink_arcana ...speaking of which, I should probably make sure my licensing guide covers all the common mistakes I've noticed.
(eg. Creative Commons explicitly says that it's a violation of their trademark policy to add new restrictions like "you can't re-upload this elsewhere as-is" to CC licenses.)
