The best part is, I don't even have to check what you're asking about. If its on OGA, it is free for commercial (or private) use, forever, irrevokably. :D
Even more so Cougarmint's art. She goes full-send with the generous terms of use for her openly licensed art as long as she is properly credited.
I hope you're right, dannorder. I think this is great art and I think this is great technology.
These submission are not locked becuase someone told me they violate copyright and I just believed them. They were locked because there is an unkown factor that we have to research to understand. This is the reason any submission gets locked on OGA. If it were a permenant decision, it wouldn't be locked. It would be deleted.
"...In the absense of new court cases on AI art copyrights, we should default to like, you know, the actual copyright laws and not what some vocal subset of highly misinformed people on social media say..."
I'm so glad we agree. The decision to flag the submissions above had nothing to do with anything anyone said on social media. Vocal subet, or otherwise. Misinformed or not. It was based on actual copyright laws as interpreted by actual professional legal experts. The thing that kicked all this off was the recent presence of several new court cases on AI art copyrights, such as as Andersen et al v. Stability AI Ltd. et al, linked above. We no longer have an 'absence of new court cases' to stand in.
I am familiar with the Google cases you refer to. They are even mentioned in the 2nd video I linked above. Google was affirmed by a court to be able to do all the stuff it does by way of Fair-Use and, as I stated above:
"Although there may be a "Fair-Use" defense for such assets, the licenses used on OpenGameArt.org require the legal terms to be on more solid standing than Fair-Use alone."
If anyone is villainizing AI art, I haven't seen them do it here. Here we are just learning new things and doing what we can to keep the archive up and flourishing.
You pretty much have it. Most people aren't going to know what next reality games is, but they all know what a card game is. If these are for a card game component, then I would say something like "collectable card game: sun, burning pizza, air conditioner, delivery whale, old man"
Other than that, just add some more descriptive tags.
Yes, I think several are either only compatible with very old versions of blender or they were malformed to begin with, unfortunately.
If anyone is able to find working versions of the broken ones, or if anyone is able to modernize them so they work with the latest blender, I'll happily swap them out here. Otherwise they will likely remain broken; as surt said, these are:
Miscellaneous crude or ancient scraps which are incomplete, rough concepts, abandoned and/or of poor quality and as such don't warrant submission as is. Posted here on the off chance that someone can extract something of worth from them.
Ok, all the links are reworked. The only things I wasn't able to recover were a few tarballs, .zips and some links to html tools. If surt or anyone else happens to have the missing parts, send them to me and I'll fix those too.
I hope this works out for you, but most of the issues you're working through have little to do with OGA, so there is almost nothing we can advise you on more than what has already been said.
"...I got in touch about it and will come back here with an answer so that other users don't have to go through this kind of situation..."
Thanks. But other users already don't have to go through this situation for the assets in question. I mean, you don't have to go through this situation either, but it sounds like your publisher(?) is convinced otherwise.
Can you indicate which specific surt comment the missing ones are from?
Re: Pixabay license. These are definitely still legit. Anything submitted to pixabay before 1/1/2019 is irrevokably CC0.
Yes it does, Pitagora, yes it does.

Looks good! Thanks!
