TileSheet Question
Hey,
I don't know if I'm posting in the right place here, so move this topic as you see fit
This is really a question for the mods/graphics developers of TMW
I wanted to ask if I could use the extremely old version of the tilesheet I found on google images located here:
http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... ping_Guide
For an independant project. Sufficient credit will most certainly be given.
I know many people do not ask for permission, however, I thought I should.
Thanks

Re: TileSheet Question
Ah right, so I have permission to use it? :')
Just out of interest, is ALL graphics under that licence. I'm not planning on using any more, I was just wondering.
Also, is credit required in that licence?
Thanks

http://gnuart.org/english/gnugpl.htmlA GPL'ed Work of Art may be distributed as part of a "commercial" Catalog or Compilation provided its status along with The GNU General Public License are mentioned.
Sequential distribution, such as radio-broadcasting require a verbal or visual notification of such information before the broadcast. Mention of URLs along with a short description of the GNU/GNUArt philosophy is an acceptable fulfillment of this requirement.
For example :
"You'll now hear the "Free Software Song" originally written and sung by RMS (http://www.stallman.org) remixed by Tompox (http://www.tompox.com). This remix is protected by the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org) and you can find more about such distribution of music on the web site http://gnuart.org...
If you find that such mention is long and boring, we therefore wonder how you can bear the much longer FBI Warnings that appears at the begining of most DVDs. Also, please consider that GPL'ed Art is Free for use.
Such credit is not only fair but also an invaluable retribution for its Author(s) and our organisation.
Of course, redistributing a Free Work of Art, requires the enclosed documents and references originally given by its Creator to remain part of the distribution, either furtherly modificated by another Artist or not.

GPL just requires that you distribute the file with the credits (License.txt)
Fair use would say that quoting is better
