Hallo,

I plan to use some svg images from Wikipedia in an app (game). The svg images are Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International marked.

Can I use them in an (Comercial) app? As far as I understand the license: yes

I would mention source and license in the "about page" of the app. So that's covered.

Do I have to share the source code of the app?

Commercial use is allowed, so some ad money (not that I expect much) would be okay, wouldn't?

Kind regards

.

As a publisher, we release publications under the following license:

This publication is provided under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution – NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-ND 4.0).

Some of these publications include graphics from third-party sources, such as Getty Images, Shutterstock, Picture Alliance, pixabay, or images marked as CC BY-SA. For third-party graphics, we always acquire the necessary rights and provide proper attribution directly under the images (e.g., © iStock XXX).

Our questions:

1. Does the above wording in the imprint suffice?
2. Should we explicitly state that the CC BY-ND 4.0 license does not apply to third-party graphics, even if proper attribution is provided?
3. Is it permissible to include third-party graphics marked as CC BY-SA in a publication licensed under CC BY-ND?
4. More generally, is it even possible to apply the CC BY-ND 4.0 license to the entire publication if it contains graphics for which we have only acquired limited-use rights (e.g., rights for inclusion in the publication)?

We’d appreciate your insights and any relevant experiences!

I did not mean to make this an AMA! I need to get old Reddit again, this UX is so weird to me...

Anyways, what I mean to ask is if, for example, a video is released as CC-BY-NC, and a creator reacts to it, does that mean the creator needs to, say, turn off monetization for the stream/video? If there are commercial aspects to the platform itself, such as YouTube or Twitch putting ads in videos or streams, respectively, without the ability for creators to control said fact, does that mean that it's legally impermissible to even do such a thing? Just curious about the specifics for something like this.

Hi

I want to use a CC licenced image as the cover of a powerpoint presentation. I will also film that presentation. Where should I put the attribution: on the title page, at the end-page, at the second page?

What? - For a science fiction / cyberpunk novel. I can do this myself, but I thought it would be a cool idea to involve the CC community. I would like a simple sketch, drawing, artwork, etc., of a small outlaw smuggling ship that might fit 6-10 people, and smuggle a small amount of goods (10-12 pallets, maybe?). About the size of a yacht. This ship will only travel on-planet, because it is unsafe for space travel. You can name the ship and show me what it looks like. Don't worry about crew or ship parts, as I can add the details myself. The ship will make a cameo in the opening scene of my next novel, and will probably be fixed and used by my characters for a while.

On the other hand, if you create a ship and its entire crew, I can try to fit it into a later part of the novel. Be sure to label the artwork as CC-BY.

Why? - I recently finished the first novel in this series, and my characters are about to steal the smuggling ship for themselves. They already took out most of the crew elsewhere, so maybe one or two smugglers are still on it. The first novel is done, with 8 chapters edited and released so far, out of 11 chapters total. The novel is under 2 CC licenses. You can't sell or modify the original fiction, but you can adapt the characters, story and setting into other forms of media, like comic books, translations, etc. Note that the first novel has a lot of action, violence, some sexuality, and comes with a HIGH controversy rating.

As of now we have CC-BY-... licenses that allow every possible type of monetization, including printing bootleg merch T-Shirts for AliExpress, and CC-BY-...-NC licenses, that ban absolutely every type of commercial usage, so you can not even include the content into a YouTube video with monetization on.

We need a clause between these 2 that would provide an exception for including your content into freely available, but monetized with ads/premium subscriptions.

Hi! Is there a place where I can distribute my picture with a Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-ND license? Something like Photoshelter but with this license. Thank you.

I've always considered thought ND meant that you are unable to remix, edit or sample a music recording. But upon closer inspection I read this on the Creative Commons website:

"Under CC licenses, syncing music in timed relation with a moving image is always considered an adaptation"

So I'm working on a noncommercial live stream project where I shuffle music and play multiple layers of public domain film footage simultaneously. I play each music track in its entirety and credit the artist also. The video footage is currently not edited or programmed to sync to the music.

I am not sure if this could be considered a derivative work under a CC license.

If there any musicians or music labels that have released music under a CC I would love to know what your thoughts are on this. (personally I have released music under a BY-NC-ND license in the past and I thought it was very cool that people used it in animations and games!)

Thank you for reading and have a great day!

Hi, could I use PowerPoint stock images in a PowerPoint? Secondly, could I apply Creative Commons license on those PowerPoints with the images included?

Hi I'm from Iran and for create a chapter in here I need vouchs. Could someone help me to obtain vouchs?

This isn't for me, but for the viral part of a license. I want to put my license share-a-like, but it's a tabletop RPG. Most TRPGS use the OGL or ORC, which I also plan to release the game under as well, because those licenses automatically exclude "product identity" and "intellectual property" and only cover rules expression.

I want to inform people that they are free to just put the rules derived from my document under CC and are free to exclude their settings and characters. I heard that is allowed, but I don't know how to do it.

Any advice?

Project 1124 is an action adventure, cyberpunk novel I am currently writing. It is untitled, called 1124 because I first started it in Nov. '24. This is a Work In Progress. I am releasing the novel in weekly chapters under 2 CC licenses. 1. The fiction cannot be sold, must remain intact and credit must go to myself, Raymond Towers, as the original author. 2. Derivatives of my novel are allowed, in any format, including for commercial purposes. Chapter 4 of the novel was added today.

Read more info about this announcement on my writer's blog. You can download the WIP novel at Reader Sets Price on Itch. If you enjoy reading it, you can always come back and reward me later. Happy new year!

I want to purchase a mocap file for using in a personal demo. End result is a video on vimeo.
It is licensed under
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

So my question is
Do I need to provide attribution along with the video, and if so how should this be done? A separate link or a title credit in the video itself?
Or, since it is just a personal demo, does it fall under 'fair use' in the public domain with no attribution required?

Thanks again!

I've released my military sci-fi novella Non-Retrieval (think Aliens, Starship Troopers) under 2 CC licenses. 1.

Derivatives of my novella are allowed, in any format, including for commercial purposes.

Read more info about this announcement on my writer's blog. You can download the novella at Reader Sets Price either on Itch or Smashwords. Suggested purchase price is $4.00.

Specifically, this project is claiming the "non-commercial" clause specifically refers to redistributing the material as-is, but that adaptations for commercial purposes are allowed. I'm not seeing any language in the actual legal code for CC-BY-NC that appears to support this. Have they made an error, or is this some sort of option for the license I'm unaware of?

I live Hong Kong, are there anything special in this license or anything affect me if I use it?
