# Sprite credits & licenses

All character, monster, and equipment sprite sheets in this directory come from
the **Liberated Pixel Cup (LPC)** project, obtained via the Universal LPC
Spritesheet Character Generator:
<https://github.com/sanderfrenken/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator>

They are the collective work of the LPC artist community. Per-file authorship and
the exact source path inside the generator are listed below. Authorship is taken
from the generator's `CREDITS.csv` for the specific source assets we use.

These assets are reproduced and (where noted) recolored / layer-composited in
this project under their licenses. Composited and recolored derivatives we ship
remain under **CC-BY-SA 3.0** (see **Licenses** at the bottom).

## Licenses

For each asset we elect the most permissive license offered (OGA-BY 3.0 where
available, otherwise CC-BY-SA 3.0); we do **not** rely on the GPL grant for any
asset.

1. **Attribution (all assets).** Every sheet is credited above with its
   author(s), license, and source links. Both OGA-BY 3.0 and CC-BY-SA 3.0 ask
   that the authors be credited and the license named, which this file does.
2. **ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA 3.0 assets).** `player-body.png`, `player-vest.png`,
   `player-hat.png`, `skeleton.png`, `zombie.png`, the character-creator bodies
   (`pcbody-*.png` / `pcbodyf-*.png`), and the clothing and footwear sheets
   (`shirt-*`, `pants-*`, `shoes-*`, `boots-*`) are offered only under
   CC-BY-SA 3.0 / GPL. Because the layered characters we render are derivatives
   of those sheets, the sprite assets and our recolors and composites are
   licensed **CC-BY-SA 3.0** — anyone is free to reuse these art assets under the
   same license. The game's own code is a separable work and is unaffected.
3. **OGA-BY 3.0 assets** (heads, pants, all gear, the sword) require attribution
   only — no ShareAlike. They appear in the CC-BY-SA composite above only because
   they are layered together with CC-BY-SA body art.
