LPC/General Licensing Question
Tuesday, March 24, 2015 - 23:34
Hi All,
I'm new to open game art and was just hoping for some clerification on CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the LPC tilesets.
From what I've been reading on the forums you cannot use any LPC or CC-BY art on IOS due to the DRM restrictions.
Whats less clear to me is in regards to the Android platform; I've been reading mixed things on this site due to android having drm but not enforcing it(?) so it may or may not be OK to use art from here on it.
My general questions are:
Can the LPC tilesets or similar CC-BY-SA 3.0 tiles be used in an Android game if attributed correctly?
Can the LPC tilesets or similar CC-BY-SA 3.0 tiles be used in a Windows Store game if attributed correctly?
Thank you so much for all of your help and I love the site!
Android has DRM APIs since 4.3. This does not mean that you have to use them – you can also distribute your application on F-Droid or as a direct APK.
As for Windows Store, I don't know.
The golden rule is that you should be able to access the direct art files (eg. don't encrypt the data files).
