EDIT: This has been superceded, please see below
Quick further updates about some edge cases to the new policy that we didn’t consider (these have been added to the credit guidelines thread as well).
In the section titled “Can I splice pieces of F2E sprites into my own work?”:
Yes, with the following caveats:
The resulting work must also be marked as F2EThe creator of the original work must be credited by you and anyone that uses the derivative work. In other words, if person B makes a mug using parts from person A’s F2E work, then both A and B must be credited by any downstream users of that mug.If the resulting work is posted to FEU directly (such as in a sprite showcase or other portfolio), that work should also be released F2E. This auto-F2E clause does not apply to assets that are only showcased as part of a larger project (e.g., you are not entitled to rip a mug from another project just because it uses F2E pieces).
Also added further sections:
Do vanilla assets count as F2E for the above?
Similar to non-fanmade assets not needing to be credited, we consider vanilla assets fair game for everyone. Splices using vanilla parts can be released under any rules you like.
Can I use my own F2E parts in a non-F2E work?
* Yes, if you are the original artist, you can do whatever you want with your art.
