RE: Cellarius: Collaborative Storytelling on the Blockchain

in #art6 years ago

but otherwise, yes the project seems very interesting.

It's got an awesome storyline already developed, though a bit on the dystopia side, and the already produces art and styling guide could be very interesting for a coherent story co-created with fans.

It's just... at least be honest about it being open-source.

After reading the different guides I expected to see mentions of Creative Commons, or at least mentions of the creators retaining their copyright and granting a limited non-commercial display license to the company behind Cellarius.

I didn't expect them to grant themselves ALL the rights, commercial including.

It might just be a standard EULA they adapted, but it's not at all adapted to a creative open-source space where the creators are rewarded for their contributions to the system, given the number of rights you give up just to participate.

Sort:  

Really interesting, I was unaware of the copyright restrictions placed on user-generated content, I had believed it was all Creative Commons. We should try to get them to loosen that grip, I don't want artists and authors to be discouraged from contributing because of that.
