Terms used

Asset Pack – the collective name of the overall package of files provided by the Creator to which this license is attached.

Attribution – providing credit to the Creator when sharing any User Content, Modifications, or Base Items. Different Creators may have specific requirements about how this is done, but generally, it should include the Creator’s name, the Asset Pack used and a link to where the Asset Pack can be found.

Base Items – refers to any part of the Asset Pack that may be used to generate User Content. This may be a whole file, or a part of a file extracted either by the user or by a program that the file is loaded in to. When the Base Item is an image this refers to the appearance of the image itself independent of format.

Content – the files contained within the Asset Pack.

Commercial Use – the use of any of the Base Items, modified or otherwise, in User Content which is primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation. This may include, but is not limited to, income-generation of any kind (whether direct or indirect), the enhancement of reputation, pro-bono work, or work where payment is received “in kind”.

Creator – the individual, group, or business who created the Content. This is the name given by the creator upon providing the content and may be a pseudonym.

Modifications/Modified content – any modification to the Base Items, either partially or as a whole, with the intent of creating a new asset.

Resell/Reselling – Selling of Base Items or Modifications, either on their own or as part of an overall package with other items, for monetary payment or alternative payment in kind, by the User.

Share/Sharing – distribution of the item described, by any means, by the User.

User – The individual downloading or otherwise receiving the Asset Pack.

User Content – any map, image or other composite output which is created by the User, within which the Base Items, either modified or unmodified, are used as just a part of the overall composition where there is a clear creative input that does not derive solely from the use of the Base Item.
