Copyright licenses aren’t EULAs. You can’t tell an end user of the software how to use the copyrighted art. It only affects distribution where copyright law operates. If I don’t distribute the software, i don’t need to abide by a copyright license. It also only covers the person doing the distribution.
- foxfluff 5y agoDepends on jurisdiction. In EU some goof decided that the transient copy/copies your computer makes to run software constitutes copying, and therefore you must have a license to use software.
- GoblinSlayer 5y agoOpen source licenses restrict themselves to distribution, but it's not the only thing possible. Distribution is you getting a copy, if you don't comply with the license, you return your copy to the author.
