i got a question about this and #NotZelda2. So these are paid assets but you license them as CC-BY-SA? So there is nothing stopping someone from buying the asset, then redistributing it on itch or elsewhere.

the work on both these assets is amazing, and making it available under free culture license is awesome. But I could theoretically buy it, palette swap it, and release it as "RagnarRandom's #StillNotZelda" and give it away for free under CC-BY-SA.

Haha. If someone buys my art and really feels the need to give my art to someone else, I am not going to call a lawyer. I really hope that doesn't happen, though.

Just for the record, I was not planning on doing that nor am I encouraging anyone else to do that. But freedom to redistribute is a core component of the CC-BY-SA.

Yah! Totally appreciate that. I guess I'm depending on the ethics/morals/personal-judgments of the people who buy my work to do what they think is right. I was deciding between CC-BY-SA and CC0, and I think I decided on SA because I wanted anyone who modified the art to also distribute their art by the same license.
