Hello, I've learned how to create skins throught other people skin and the community.
In the end I created a skin with my own vision but the basic design of my skin at the start came from another user.
I rewrote it and added quite a lot of things.
I want to share my skin, but the author of the original design used the following license :
Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License.
Do that mean I cannot share mine ?
Here his deviant art with his design : https://www.deviantart.com/satyajit00/art/Flat-and-Blurry-v1-0-491371330
And here is my latest version of the skin :
I credited him in the credit part, and I thinking of using the following license :
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
But still, can I release my skin ?

Re: License issue
I did a similar thing with my Rounded suite. Even though I tried messaging the site to get permission I heard nothing back. But I have completely redesigned it and hopefully it's ok. If there are issues then at that time I will remove it. That's all that can be done.
Nice skin btw

Re: License issue
This: Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License, is essentially a poor man's patent, with the stipulation that any future use or modification make (if requested) a mention of previous author, and in so doing commit to the same license, which essentially grants any or all modification or even direct distribution be non-for profit, and also essentially is an open source desktop modification system created under similar licenses granting use etc openly, but also non for profit..

Re: [solved] License issue
Actually, the "No Derivative Works" part of the license means:
Creative Commons also requires that you use the same license as the original work.
Code: Select all
The licensor permits others to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work, but not distribute
derivative works based on it.
