I like this, but IMO non-free skins should be banned. It's completely against FOSS principles, but Minetest should be all about FOSS, am I right? And you literally called it the "OPEN MT-Skin Database", but if it includes non-free images, how is it really open?
This includes all skins under CC BY-NC and CC BY-NC-SA.
You can't use those skins for games when you want to make them FOSS. Including any of these skins makes also your game non-free. It doesn't make sense to me to give any support and exposure to non-free things in a FOSS community.

Thanks for reading.
At most, a warning should be displayed when picking those licenses.
Oh, and there are several skins that were either straight ripped off from copyrighted/non-free games (i.e. not even Creative Commons), or are are suspiciously similar to them. I have made several reports in the database's report system.
Open means open for any artist. The artist has the right to deny the usage of his/her work for comercial purposes. If someone wants to use it comercially, he/she can still ask the author for permission.
As long as the skin is a bit different or edited, I would consider it as art, so I consider it as protected by Art. 5 Abs.3 GG
I will not delete your reported "Rip Offs" as long as the author (artist) put a litle work into it. But if there is a exact copy ill shure remove it.
Hey, I read at the first post of this topic that a php-only version is wanted. I can help with that for sure. [1]
And i can try to make the url to a 3d preview too
[1] = I made a GuestBook, a YouTube to mp (3 and 4) converter, a 2-step-auth signin page (not beeing used atm) and above ALL others websites I made a fully working forum from SCRATCH (aka nothing)

Well, the explanation is awful, because I tried to run it and it said something about needing to be in trusted mods in minetest.conf. I have no idea how to change that.

Just add the line: "secure.trusted_mods = skinsdb" to your minetest.conf and you are good to go

This is unfortunate, will the website be down just temporarily? if it is not the case I have all skins from early 2021 that did not have the NC component in their CC license. I could release them if the website owner agrees.

And i got the source of the website, if that will be gone too...
