Purpose
- Help creators choose the appropriate license when registering works or artifacts
- Clarify the differences between the KyaraFlip Basic License and external licenses such as Creative Commons
KyaraFlip Basic License
- KyaraFlip’s default proprietary license for in-platform content
- Key points:
- Grants KyaraFlip the rights necessary to display the work/artifact within the service and connected features, in line with the Terms of Service
- External redistribution or modification is not automatically allowed—obtain individual permission if needed
- Copyright ownership remains with the creator
- See KyaraFlip Fundamental License (KFL) for the full text
Creative Commons Licenses (CC)
- Widely adopted open licenses. Common options include:
| Code | Name | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| CC BY | Attribution | Anyone may reuse, modify, and redistribute as long as credit is given |
| CC BY-SA | Attribution-ShareAlike | Same as CC BY, but derivatives must use the same license |
| CC BY-NC | Attribution-NonCommercial | Reuse/modification allowed for non-commercial purposes only |
| CC BY-NC-SA | NonCommercial + ShareAlike | Combination of NC and SA requirements |
| CC BY-ND | Attribution-NoDerivatives | Redistribution allowed, no modifications |
| CC BY-NC-ND | NonCommercial + NoDerivatives | Most restrictive variant |
- Important considerations
- Designed for reuse beyond KyaraFlip. Once published, others may share or remix the work within the license conditions
- Carefully review whether you allow commercial use, derivatives, etc. before choosing
Other Licenses
- If you must use a custom or third-party license (MIT, GPL, game-specific license terms, etc.), choose “Other (enter manually)” and include the key terms plus a URL
- Ensure you have the rights to apply that license to your content
Choosing a License
- Stay within KyaraFlip only: KyaraFlip Basic License is usually sufficient
- Encourage wider sharing/remixing: choose a Creative Commons license (e.g., CC BY, CC BY-SA)
- Avoid commercial reuse: CC BY-NC or a clearly worded custom license
- Keep content private/closed: set visibility to “Unlisted” or “Private” and select an appropriate license with explicit restrictions
