Most sprite-related community forums usually have a dedicated thread made simply for sprites that would be considered "Public Domain," so Spriters Paradise will be no different.
- Public Domain: Any sprite posted here is to be considered PUBLIC DOMAIN. Meaning that anyone with access to the forum and this thread will be free to take use any sprite posted in this thread. If you do not want your sprites to be using by the public, please do NOT post them here. If you do post a sprite here and someone uses it, and you end up not liking it, we are not going to penalize them for theft because the sprites were labeled available for their free use. Choose wisely before dropping your work off in this thread.
- Licensed Sprites: The Spriters Paradise administration's view on Licensed Sprites is that since they aren't owned by the person making the edits, they are already Public Domain to begin with, as it isn't your product. While yes, you put the work into editing the sprites into interesting new poses, you do not own the character that you created those poses with.
- Permission?!: Please refrain from putting a 'Ask for permission' tag on any of the sprites that you decide to leave in this thread, as that goes against the basic rules of what Public Domain means. We would greatly appreciate the extra effort.
- Credit: Creator's choice on whether they request for it or not. Since they did the work, it is completely up to them.
