Found this whilst searching and this sets my mind at rest proper. Perfectly said.
The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist. Anyone can use a public domain work without obtaining permission, but no one can ever own it.
@Tozen thanks for your reply, you are exactly right, I have given up all rights under the CCO license, but they are still a license of Public domain, I do not feel great about someone who has used CCO license material and then copyright/license it under a different terms, for them to try and sue for liabilities later, or that anyone who has used my work for any purposes including commercials are then unable to use that work.
I think I would like to think that people moral's would come in to play when using such work, but like you say, they can do what they want, but as the original Author I think that grants you some rights regardless of the license release, and would feel that if anyone plans to do a copyright they would need to ask my permissions still, even if it means pulling the work offline and making others aware,(not that I would do that) so the copyrighted work would go ahead..........
you know what i'm confused again.........
I just create work for everyone to use for free, if someones going to use and copyright it then that gos against my etho's of how I want to work, and that just ruins it for me and others.
I do wonder what is the point of the CCO license right now, perhaps like you say i should use a different license that protects from that sort of behavouir.
Has anyone had this sort of trouble before? or suggest a better license? il have a look and read through them.
Thanks for your comments, I have told them that they can copyright there OWN material but not my CCO work, As it is public domain and shall remain that way. Unless they have made changes to the work itself.
I think they are just confused about copyright licenses, and they understand what I am saying and have apologised if they have caused any upset to me, which they hadn't really, I just freaking out about if that could happen about someone copyrighting my own work, so now that my mind is set to rest I will continue to create CCO work and I'm going to tAke this all with a pinch of salt and move on, I'm not going to publicly name them as we can all make mistakes from time to time, so we all learn something.
@Duion thanks for your response, that's good to hear, il have to see if he/she has made any changes to the artwork and make them aware that they cannot and should not copyright my material.
@Boom Shaka, I kept both on here, like you say some may prefer the other, when you say blurred image, do you mean the Sprite sheet or the gif image? It's a terrible gif image, I will update it with another one.
@Boom Shaka thanks for your comment, i have tweaked the frame so the eye doesn't look odd and made the swipe less solid and uploaded the new sheet(old one is still there too.) im glad you like it, if there are any other animations you think would be good to add, like the climbing etc, let me know and when i do other animations i can add those also. thanks again! :)
