Title: Imageafter license is compatible to OA?
Post by: hkn on January 12, 2010, 10:44:20 AM
Hello people!

Im making a new map for OA, but i using a new set of textures based on cgtextures.com images, editing them to fit in the game of course. But i saw that cgtextures terms of license is not much compatible with GPL (well, incompatible at all).

So, i found "imageafter.com" and the only restriction they have is that you cannot use their textures/images to create another texture website redistributing their work.

C&P from the page:

 1. LICENSE / TERMS OF USE
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH IMAGE*AFTER IMAGES AND TEXTURES?

    * you CAN modify our images and textures in any way you see fit
    * you CAN use our images and textures in your own work, whether it be for personal or commercial use
    * you CAN redistribute or sell our images and textures ALTERED OR UNALTERED as part of printed work (e.g. posters, cd-covers, postcards etc)

WHAT CAN'T YOU DO WITH IMAGE*AFTER IMAGES AND TEXTURES?

    * you CANNOT REDISTRIBUTE our images and textures as part of an online resource site like our own, i.e. use them to directly compete with us.

Is that license compatible with OA? Can i use derived (edited basically) images for mapping?

bb!

Well, google had some infos about this, and here is the result :

http://www.imageafter.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=1460

You can find GPL textures there : http://gpl.imageafter.com

I think their license isn't a subset of GPL, because of that "do not make galleries" statement.
