Everyone should give serious consideration to a legacy clause in their licensing. None of us will be here forever. My stuff is all free for the taking and using with only the ask that I be credited in any derivative works, but for those who insist on control: consider what worth that will have if your gone - either from this world or just this game.

Some will always insist on being the sad little king of their sad little hill but I suspect many simply never thought of it.

Meanwhile, if you don't have the asset then you don't have the license, it shouldn't be a capitol offense to simply ask.

Yeah but there are more than 500 reskins of my assets that need updating and I can't do it.

Thoughts?

Thanks John

You mean you have hundreds of assets you'd need to update the license on?

Seems to me I saw a thread around here somewhere where some authors basically reconned their licenses to make their items public domain in bulk. Maybe just say intentions there?

If that thread isn't pinned it should be.

So you're suggesting that I should release my models to be public domain? How would that solve the problem that many reskins of my work need updating to meet the latest TS22 standards?

Wait... WHAT?! I did no such thing. I originally commented that folks should consider a clause in their licenses to allow distribution if they drop dead or disappear, I said absolutely nothing about outdated assets.

Define disappear, after ten years?

Thanks John

And given that the CRG can upload under the original kuid and we have many different communication areas such as discord servers, email groups and other forums how do you know if someone has disappeared. It's harder than you might imagine. We have had some success talking to executors when we know someone has died.

No, I don't think I will.

The CRG can only update and upload kuids only from the DLS.

Yes but to the end user they can't tell if the CRG has uploaded or the creator has been active and uploaded another version.
