Question reguarding OGA-BY 3.0
Tuesday, May 8, 2018 - 07:34
If a artist chooses to use this license for their art, does that mean they can collect royalties if I sold the game. Does this make sense? Please help I am trying to make a major decision for the video game I am making and would like help understanding the license because I can not figure it out. Thank you in advance.
No, an artist may not force you to hand over royalties to them for sales of a game you produce containing their art. You may choose to offer them royalties, but you are not obligated to do so.
Keep in mind you are obligated to give them credit for their art on your game's credits screen and in the game's credits file.
--Medicine StormAm I obligated to post the differences between my art and theirs, like the files?
thank you again medicinestorm !
You don't have to detail every pixel change, but it is a good idea to indicate - in simple terms - what changes, if any, were made. For example: "changed the tree's leaf color from green to blue." Not a requirement though.
However, if you do modify the art, you are required to indicate as such. It can be as simple as adding the phrase "The original work has been modified" on the credits.
--Medicine StormThank you very much again!
