Interesting post, could I ask, would you say there would need to be different set ups of Sprite sheets dependant on different softwares being used by the developer? Example I suppose would be to have a character that ran/walk as drawn by the artist, or have the same character but parts dissected, like the arms and legs so the developer can arrange them him/herself?
Thank you all for your comments, it's helped a lot, I apolize if this is going over old grounds, you think you understand it then you get thrown a curve ball, I just wanted to be sure on a few things so I can continue create CCO license work.
Yes, i read about collection's too, I kinda thought that, if someone uses my caveman sheet with my Greenland tiles and calls it caveman game, it could be considered a collection? If someone just uses they caveman sheet for there project is fine, but using the same tiles set as well could be infringing on that persons collection of work as suppose to just using a few images, assuming they copyright the game using those sprites.
hmm, isn't the work I do a collection of my work by chasersgaming, could that be seen as a collection? Or would it be necessary to actually Wright, a collection of work from chasersgaming, and then set the public domain? Wow, it could go either way really, maybe just to save argument is just to release under the other license with a attribution notice.
im back to thinking that what is the point of the CCO license at all if it doesn't protect no one when they use it, although my work isn't good enough to warrant such an argument, but maybe one day it might,.
if such a thing came to a lawsuit it would be difficult to prove that someone had used a part of work which is part of someone's collection when the exactly the same work is available on a public domain license.if they public domain license work was dated before the copyrighted work then hat would save the argument wouldn't it?
I am waffling on a bit sorry, it can spiral out of control, hahahaha.
Found this whilst searching and this sets my mind at rest proper. Perfectly said.
The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it.
@Tozen thanks for your reply, you are exactly right, I have given up all rights under the CCO license, but they are still a license of Public domain, I do not feel great about someone who has used CCO license material and then copyright/license it under a different terms, for them to try and sue for liabilities later, or that anyone who has used my work for any purposes including commercials are then unable to use that work.
I think I would like to think that people moral's would come in to play when using such work, but like you say, they can do what they want, but as the original Author I think that grants you some rights regardless of the license release, and would feel that if anyone plans to do a copyright they would need to ask my permissions still, even if it means pulling the work offline and making others aware,(not that I would do that) so the copyrighted work would go ahead..........
you know what i'm confused again.........
I just create work for everyone to use for free, if someones going to use and copyright it then that gos against my etho's of how I want to work, and that just ruins it for me and others.
I do wonder what is the point of the CCO license right now, perhaps like you say i should use a different license that protects from that sort of behavouir.
Has anyone had this sort of trouble before? or suggest a better license? il have a look and read through them.
Thanks for your comments, I have told them that they can copyright there OWN material but not my CCO work, As it is public domain and shall remain that way. Unless they have made changes to the work itself.
I think they are just confused about copyright licenses, and they understand what I am saying and have apologised if they have caused any upset to me, which they hadn't really, I just freaking out about if that could happen about someone copyrighting my own work, so now that my mind is set to rest I will continue to create CCO work and I'm going to tAke this all with a pinch of salt and move on, I'm not going to publicly name them as we can all make mistakes from time to time, so we all learn something.
