    Hey all, would like feedback on the licensing for the store.

    As you all know assets in the store are going to be distributed under a Royalty Free Licensing agreement. This agreement allows use in derivative works.

    The current RFL license for the store allows for usage in unlimited projects. For the new store, I'm considering modifying the RFL to allow use for 1 single commercial project only (but unlimited non-commercial projects). This sort of arrangement seems fairly common on other sites (template monster for example).

    The exclusive license would not only de-list the item from the store, but allow for usage in unlimited derivative works.

    Alternatives would be to allow for higher numbers of commercial projects (3, 5 or 10).

    What are peoples thoughts on this? Here's a draft of the licensing agreement in question:

    This modification to the license will not affect usage for anyone who has already purchased assets from our current store!

    Thanks Feedback has been very positive and also useful so far. I think with regards to tools/features for sellers, coming to an end (for now). Have to stop somewhere!

    Looking to finish the licensing details and payment processing, after that looking at caching to speed up the pages and a few other bits and bobs, then we're ready for launch.

    Good points. I can set it per category. What I'll do is see how people use it, and if people do misuse it or it's not useful in some way for specific categories I'll disable it for those categories. It makes sense for plugins/games/animations though I think. You're right though, probably not for audio.

    famekrafts, ah yes good idea. Will do this after the release so not to confuse people.

    Michaelb, not sure yet. When it's released we'll figure it all out.

    I think ArcadeEd is right, there's a bit of uncertainty at the moment. Sellers can of course change their prices, so if they have an item sitting there for a few weeks not selling they are welcome to consider dropping the price.

    No free content is permitted in the store at the moment, we want to control the content carefuly before allowing free content (don't want to be overwhelmed).

    RE: Cashouts, yes you can specify a different email address for Paypal

    Sorry important change everyone, you must be at least 18 years old to sell assets in our store. Sorry for overlooking this. If anyone currently in the beta is not 18, please drop me an email.

    We'll not be accepting applications from anyone under 18 from now. If you are not 18 years old or older, please do not apply for the new store beta.

    russpuppy good question. We'd have to check with Steam ToS to see if they are permitted for sale like that though. Even if so, we're not going to implement that for initial launch.
