Does this mean I can't make videos for facebook or youtube to promote a game commercially, without first seeking permission?

Can someone please elaborate on this? laugh

really strange terms, so they can charge you any amount they wish?
I saw such products in the showcase section...

Here we go laugh

Legal Stuff
You have now finished your game, finished the beta test, found a publisher or distributor, and are awaiting your game to appear in the stores. But haven't you forgotten something? Don't you have to pay license fees for distributing the engine?

Don't worry. By having legally purchased Gamestudio you have the right to create as many games or other applications as you want, distribute them, earn money and become rich, without having to bother about royalties or license fees. There is one rule, though: It violates the license conditions to use Gamestudio or lite-C for games that propagate genocide against a certain group, nation, race or religion existing in today's real world.

Additionally, there are some further legal issues to bear in mind.

Maybe you're not working alone at the game, but together with a team. You have the right to make copies of Gamestudio for backup purposes, but it is illegal to let other people work with them. If several members of your team are working with Gamestudio on the same project, you do not have to buy an extra copy for each member - you can purchase a team edition. For developer groups or school/college classes, team editions are a way to save costs. All members of the team must use the software for the same project or for learning purposes, and the software must not be used for separate projects or outside the team. The Gamestudio team edition can be installed on the PC of each team member. It is for developing or learning only - it can not publish a distributable game. For this, an additional normal edition is required.

If you are using textures, sounds, models or other material from the demo levels of the development system, please note that you must use them for Gamestudio applications only. It is illegal to use them for any other purpose. It is also illegal to distribute any other part of the development system, or to modify the distributable runtime module in any way.

The right for royalty free distribution does not automatically include the right to use or broadcast Gamestudio applications for commercial purposes at public places, in TV shows, and in arcade machines. In such a case please contact the support to find out whether a one time license fee is required or not.

Okay, my english not so good you know. but i can say; if it's mean we can't make videos for our comm. game, that doesn't make sense at all... i mean we're free to publish game but not free to make a video? I think there is a misunderstanding here. Nevertheless, we should ask jcl directly.

By that quote, I guess it depends whether the Internet is considered a "public place." laugh I presume the rule is more intended for large commercial products but it's easy enough just to contact support for an official statement.

I think it is a misunderstanding. Furthermore, can't you otherwise just let someone else upload it or just create an another account on e.g. youtube? Then when you are busted, you can just say it is an annoying fan and you don't know nothing about it grin .

Okay.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_domain
Quote:

Works in the public domain are those whose intellectual property rights have expired,[1] have been forfeited,[2] or are inapplicable. Examples include the works of Shakespeare and Beethoven, most of the early silent films, the formulae of Newtonian physics, and powered flight.[1] The term is not normally applied to situations where the creator of a work retains residual rights, in which case use of the work is referred to as "under license" or "with permission".

So from my understanding, our work becomes public domain once our license expires, or if we sell our licence AND if our project is still makin profit?
