Title: Using content in another game
Post by: ptx on December 01, 2007, 03:28:57 am
Would it be legal to use UQM music/images in another (free) game? If yes, would the game have to be open source?

Thanks,
-pc

The following is the opinion of a programmer, not a lawyer. I also have no knowledge of your particular jurisdiction.

Quote from: UQM documentation
    The content -- voiceovers, dialogue, graphics, and music -- are
    copyright (C) 1992, 1993, 2002 Toys for Bob, Inc. or their
    respective creators.  The content may be used freely under the

    Masters.
Basically, you can use the UQM content in another game as long as you:
  • Attribute Toys for Bob and the creators of the UQM content correctly (i.e. indicate who did the stuff you use).
  • Do not attempt to make money from the game.
  • Your game is under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 license.
