Hello, I wanted to ask if you´re getting any money from this . I got it as a gift and I can provide photo proof of the pages. it´s using your generator to make dungeons and then they sell them off as original material. I think you should know. Hope you get to the bottom of the issue and are recognised for your work. Let me know if you need any extra info
Hi! Yeah, I've seen this thing. No, I don't get any money from it. It's not nice, but technically it doesn't violate that informal license ("you can use images created by the generator as you like... attribution is... not required"). The problem here is not that someone makes money from it and I don't, but that this book is actually a fraud, the "author" sells stuff which is supposed to be free. There are a couple of reviews mentioning this fact, but unfortunately they are not top voted.
Hello. I'll say right away that that isn't me, but I understand why they'd sell them.
Fraud is a strong word and I don't think it applies because you never say anywhere on the generator details not to sell them and you imply that you're ok with them being used commercially with the way you phrase things. You say credit is not required either. Theres at least 1 post on reddit that I just found that comes to the same conclusion as well.
To have these words up there for all this time, since October 2019 according to 'TheWaybackMachine', and then voice anger about it and possibly condone some action against it when you find out someone took advantage of something you say is ok to take advantage of...
Wouldn't that in itself be the fraud or some kind of trickery? Thats likely how it would feel from their POV, as you're basically saying "You own the rights to what you generate. Do as you like with them." To act against someone for doing so is pretty much a 'rug pull'.
You may not like that they are selling the maps, but you literally gave them the right to do it.
I doubt there was any malicious intent on their part. For one thing you didn't have that license on your neighborhood generator for a long while, and in that time that seller never made a neighborhood map book. You only just recently added it, but since you did I'm sure a book will pop up eventually. On top of that, they actually mention it in the details that it is generated, which they are not actually even obligated to do.
It is perfectly reasonable for them, or anyone, to believe that you were either ok with how they're being used or just did not care. I'm not a lawyer, I don't know about the legality of changing it after all this time, but even if you did I don't think it would be fair to whoever that seller is or anyone else that acted before some change was made to it.
