These should not be listed as Public Domain. Many of the images from the Dundjinni forums do not allow commercial use.

 

[Battleaxe_DM]

The original "public domain" came from how the assets were described on the Vintyri project "Free RPG symbols/objects and textures fills from the Dundjinni Internet forums. Free for personal and commercial use. " Changed out of an abundance of caution.

 

[Phergus]

The phrase "Free for personal and commercial use" does not equate to Public Domain which has a very specific meaning. You should include a link and attribution to the Vintyri site in your description if that is where you actually got them from.

Hmmm, yeah -- I went to the Vintyri project to look for a good description of the intellectual property rights, but I pulled the assets from my personal collection of Dundjinni assets (that I downloaded from the forums back in the day) and ones that I supplemented by looking on the (surprisingly newly-up and running) Dundjinni site. I used the Vintyri site's description because it seemed like a useful place to look, given that the assets came from so long ago (and before the current licensing schemes were established, I believe) and the Dundjinni archive is offered by them (for CC3+). There is no one description of the rights on the Dundjinni site. I changed it to one of the more restrictive CC licenses because I really don't know a better way to describe them (and because I'm just collecting other people's work and don't want to take credit for other people's work).

All good. The Dundjinni forums were always tricky to track down details about what usage was allowed for any given asset.

Battleaxe_DM updated Shadows and Overlays with a new update entry:

Shadows and Overlays

This is a collection of shadows and other overlays that originated on the Dundjinni site. Original artists included Kelpi, Bogie, BluDragon, Supercaptain and others. There are cliff and brush edge shadows/overlays, as well as steps, dune, rocks and others in a variety of sizes. However, from testing, probably the most useful are the shadow paths.
