Some sprites used in a flash game. Do they have permission?
« on: April 28, 2010, 03:30:01 pm »
I know nothing about the license surrounding the sprites used in AI War, but I notice that many sprites in Starmageddon (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/528082#) were used in AI War. My question is: Are the sprites publicly available? Did that game steal the sprites without permission? Do they have permission?

AI War uses a number of sprites from a free set from Daniel Cook (iirc), and possibly some others, so it's not necessarily an indication of wrongdoing.  Also, I think a few months ago Chris released a lot of the AI War graphical assets for free use.  Chris would know better about the specifics.

But thanks for letting us know :)
