You said it was "under consideration" almost three weeks ago. You're being deliberately evasive. When you are inviting people to use your work I think you owe them clarity as to what their rights are. I don't think it's very easy to define "considered pornographic" or apply the youtube community standards in a gaming context. Youtube has a clause against violent or gory content, how do I know if I can make a fighting or horror game? You are basically requiring people to have to ask for permission in advance if they are doing anything other than making G rated content. Needing permission in advance is a big part of what CC is meant to prevent.

The bottom line is you are using the CC trademark and you owe it to the CC to follow their rules. You don't get to follow their rules eventually after some indefinite period of consideration, you needed to do it at the moment you put their logo on your site. If you really want to prohibit certain uses and keep other aspects of CC you should take the CC licence text, add your prohibitions, then replace all of the instances of "Creative commons" with "Soundimage" and rebrand it as a Soundimage license on your site. Again, from the CC website:

"you must no longer call, label, or describe the license as a “Creative Commons” or “CC” license, nor can you use the Creative Commons logos, buttons, or other trademarks in connection with the modified license or your materials."

Eric Matyas {l Wrote}:the matter is under consideration. If the moderator informs me that my posts are not appropriate for this forum, I will be happy to remove them.


As a moderator I have to inform you that the issues raised are indeed valid to some extend. With the additional restrictions you have added you can not call your content as released under the CC-by or use the Creative Commons logos.

As open source games are highly complex pieces of software, often developed over decades with a changing team of contributors most will shy away from content not under a well accepted and standartized license (like the CC licenses). In addition many "Free software" developers only consider content that adheres to the software freedoms as defined by the Free Software Foundation.

I would therefore advise you to keep the creative commons license and remove the additional restrictions. As previously said, you can add non binding addtionions like "I would prefer if the content was not used pornographically" (however that is even defined...) or you can also waive your right to be credited in such cases as not to be associated with pornographic content.

However similar to other more restrictive and custom licenses (for example the non commercial clauses) your currently custom licensed content might still be of use for some open source projects and thus I will not ask you to remove the content here. But please do edit your posts (and hopefully also your website) as to not mislead people into thinking that they can use your content under the CC-by license.

Thanks, Julius, we've resolved the issue with a custom license.

Hi everyone,

Soundimage is now on youtube!

I've had a good number of requests for a way to listen to my tracks in playlists rather than by clicking on them one at a time. Well, you asked for it...you got it. I've uploaded each and every track (almost 500 of them) onto youtube. The playlists directly correspond to the pages on my site where you can download the tracks as always.

Here's the link:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6m...Gy-A/playlists

I sincerely hope this is helpful. As always, feel free to send me links to your projects...I love to see how creative people are using my music!

Have a great week,
Eric
