By submitting assets to Shaostoul and Project Universe, you agree to the following terms:

If your contribution is considered a code asset:

  • You and your contribution adhere strictly to the license of the project being contributed to. This (potentially) includes but is not limited to:
    • AGPL 3.0
    • MIT
    • CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
    • BSL 1.1

If your contribution is considered a creative asset:

  • You agree to give Shaostoul and Project Universe permission to redistribute the submitted asset in source and compiled form under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License (More details here)
  •  You agree to give Shaostoul and Project Universe permission to redistribute the submitted asset in compiled form for commercial purposes.

Creative assets include, but are not limited to:

  • 2D drawn art
  • 3D models
  • Textures for 3D models
  • 3D animation
  • Music

Reasoning:

  • Code assets should follow the license of the project. This is standard practice in open source development.
  • Creative assets require two permissions:
    • Redistribution in source and compiled forms under CC-BY-SA-NC. This carries a few key clauses:
      • The creator of the asset is to be directly credited.
      • Derivatives must be shared under the same license.
      • No commercial use of the asset without explicit permission.
    • Project Universe may be in the future be considered donationware, which falls under the commercial use clauses under the CC-BY-SA-NC.
