Purpose of this agreement

It is our intent that contributors be able to retain as many rights as possible to their original works. We want contributors to be allowed to sell their works, to release works under open source licenses, to use works in their portfolios, and of course use their works in their own projects. This, in part, is about risk-mitigation for the contributor - for example, should the project fail or fail to make sufficient revenues, contributors still have raights to make money on their own works outside of the project.

We also hope to slowly release as many assets as possible under a Creative Commons 0 (CC0) license, which is public domain license. Most assets will not be immediately released under this license by the project but will instead be made availble some time after the game release. During development some assets, espeically unused ones, may be made available by the project under a CC0 license to encourage Patreon donations to the project. In order to facilitate these CC0 releases, the works must first be licensed to us under such an agreement.

Note, the above section is not a legal part of the agreement and exists to clarify the purpose of the Contribution License Agreement (below) for those contributing to the project.
