Ok, but ignoring licenses means you are breaking community rules and the law.
I suppose I should rephrase:
"I don't worry about what licenses go on what, because if you are posting it here, obviously it is free to use privately. Of course I would respect the license."
> In my opinion, licenses are rather useless on Minetest schematics. I can freely download them, modify them, and use them, in whatever way I wish.
You are stating that ease of piracy means no one should ever license anything. Ok, but if you do this within the MT community you are essentially saying to everyone: "screw you, i'm going to use your hard work and not credit you", in which case others will not respect you in return and if you act you may be banned from the forum.
You've lost my respect for a start.
If you want to see it as that, go ahead. I did not intend this as the implied meaning.
Again, "If you are posting this here and putting it up for download, I am free to download and use it as I wish privately."
And nowhere did I say I wouldn't credit someone, that would be absurd.
> PLEASE NOTE I am NOT saying claiming something build by another as your own is OK, and I have never said that, nor implied it.
You have immediately contradicted yourself, failure to credit is very close to, and just as bad as, claiming false ownership.
Again, never said I would or should claim something as my own.
> Can we like, agree that licensing is not too important for Minetest schematics
No.
Bad on my part, sorry.
> but if you would like to license something you gotta say so or we are gonna see it as CC0
We don't get to decide that, the law does.
As far as I am concerned, if a license isn't specified and it is posted for download, it may as well be free to use?
> Go ahead and license your stuff and we will respect the license.
But you won't apparently.
I think I've already covered this by now.
> Anyway, there are more important things than licensing some structures made of blocks in a game
There are always more important things, this argument can be used to ignore licenses on any artwork.
I didn't mean this to shrug off licensing artwork, poor transition on my part.
> And yes, everything posted on this topic is free to use. Because anything non-permissive is against the forum rules.
No, permissive does not mean 'no licence' as in CC0. The part of the rules that applies to your 'free to use' schematics is:
> Public domain is not allowed as a license because jurisdiction about what "public domain" means varies between countries. Release your work under CC0 instead (or also).
I didn't say it meant "no license". If someone doesn't explicitly license their work, but it is put up for download, it is "free to use". Of course, everything on this forum is "free to use" per forum rules(?) within what ever specified (or not) license. And how does the "free to use" thing relate to Public Domain not being a license? I never said Public Domain was a license, and if someone doesn't license their stuff or if they say its free to use, that doesn't make it "Public Domain".
What I am getting from this is: Schematics can be licensed (I never refuted this), and schematics should be licensed (I don't agree with this, but maybe I should comply). Please tell me if this is incorrect.
