Hey! Someone in my project asked if it was okay to have your assets included in my plugin's source code, since it is open source and therefore accessible. I thought it was fine but I just want to make sure, my intention was never to give away your assets for free... Here is a link to my plugin. In my plugin's license I also specified that the assets are not included for free use. If you are not okay with this, I will remove your assets from the project or will delete the whole project and will be available to refund you however I can. Thank you :')
This is what I was afraid of. Your plugin provides free access to my assets for free to everyone. I'd love to say yes just keep them in there, but it is threatening my survival as an incredibly poor artist. Since it is open source, I guess there is no way to restrict access to the assets themselves, so I will kindly ask that you remove them from there asap. I'm sorry.
Thank you for being open and honest about this. I really appreciate it.
You should probably be more clear about your expectations. It seems like not everyone understands how to use your assets. Look at the media folder. In it there is a folder 'cat' that is essentially just the zip you're selling. https://github.com/tonybaloney/vscode-pets
I just opened an issue on that repo. We'll see where it goes.
No problem! Looks like tonybaloney will be taking them down from the repo. (very nice guy btw). They are still going to use the assets (because they're adorable and they paid for them) but they will NOT be in the repo open to the public. If I were you I would just add an extra sentence to the top paragraph about, "these assets are not to be openly distributed" or something. Idk, maybe not. Anyway, love your work! Take care!
