good catch, morad. Not sure how to interpret the pixabay license for this. It also states:
"You may use them for commercial and non-commercial purposes, in altered and unaltered form"
if you can use pixabay assets for commercial purposes, even in unaltered form, then selling the asset is permitted, so I suspect the portion of that 4th bullet point is relevant: "Don't sell it as a stock photo, poster, print, or physical product." Which this is none of those. However, CC0 doesn't prevent a 3rd party from downloading this and doing so.
Yet, this could be said to have value added since this is has the background removed and border transparency added. Ultimately it is a borderline case so I'll have to mark this as having a licensing issue until we know more. Please speak up if anyone has constructive input on this or questions about this.
@morad: thank you for bringing this to our attention.
The 4th bullet point of the pixabay license may be an issue here: this texture may not have enough value added to constitute a separate asset. Although this is not being sold, the CC0 license does allow reselling by 3rd parties. Until we know more, I have to mark this as having a licensing issue. please let me know if anyone has any questions or comments about this.
@Morad: thanks for bringing that to our attention. My initial reaction is:
This is not a stock photo or wallpaper platform
No identifiable people appear in the asset above, bad light or offensive nature aside.
No endorsement is implied, no brand or persons displayed.
this could be sold by a 3rd party, but pistachio has already added significant value by splitting it into normal maps and adding diffuse and bump maps.
@morad: would you be able to share a side-by-side comparison of the two? or a link to something showing the WoW cursor? I am not familiar with the specifics.
Yes, Morad, that is correct: you can cut letters out of the screens, create a new font, and publish it under CC-BY if you wanted. Copyright protects fonts, but not typefaces. I don't think that is advisable since it may still piss people off, but it is technically legal to do.
Is the font itself contained in the download or just applications of the typeface?
That is some captivating pixelart, Illusion.
the tags "Gameaudio" and "sfx" are redundant since this is already in the Sound Effects category. See my previous comment https://opengameart.org/comment/58408/#comment-58408
AND a retort, aludel, and reagent containers! I love it.
@Mold: I was not aware of that. Well, that makes all this very simple: pixabay's new stipulations do not apply to any OGA submission prior 2019.
@withthelove: (Regarding font law vs typeface law) ^that, thank you. Much better put than what I said. :)
P.S. I can see no license conflict with this submission.
