So I'm a bit confused by all these licenses
Monday, August 25, 2014 - 15:40
You guys have like eight different licenses on this website, and it's a bit confusing for me. I need some art to make my game with, and from what I've seen so far the LPC stuff has the highest quality when it comes to 2D spritework. Most of the stuff tagged LPC is under the CC and GPL licenses. Does that mean it's free for commercial use?
See the FAQ.

When dealing with different licenses I found

very helpful. See for yourself:

So this FAQ is written by a guy who thinks he knows what he's talking about, but isn't sure. How can I know that these licenses are what he says they are and won't get me in legal trouble?
The disclaimer on not being sure is found everywhere, even on the tldrlegal site.
If you really want to be sure, you'd need to consult a lawyer specialized on internet/technology.
Hi. I'm the guy who thinks he know what he's talking about but isn't sure.
I'm a developer, not a lawyer. I'm not qualified to give legal advice, and as much as I hate having to put disclaimers on everything, I have to make it absolutely clear to people that license compliance is ultimately their own responsibility.
If you have specific questions about a license, please feel free to explain here what it is you want to do, and try my best to help. Without knowing your specific situation, the absolute best advice I can give you is to clarify with the individual artists what you are and are not allowed to do. If you don't think a particular artist would want you to do something with their art, respect their wishes and don't do it. That's the easiest way to stay out of legal trouble.
the issue with giving legal advice is that different locations around the world have different lawsa great example is that the US has something called fair use however in other countries do not necessarily have this
