Yeah, I'm not sure thats how licensing on Snap! works?


Legally, I am allowed to use this, correct?

Sorry, @megam123official, legally you can't do this, as Snap runs with a license stating that anyone can borrow assets from your project with credit.

Yes. You are allowed to remix the project and change/do what you want. That licensing is bogus. I believe it has to do with the Snap! Policy itself.

Also I think they are like 8 as the FBI doesn’t take trademarks, it’s the US Patent and Trademark Beurau or whatever. Along with that they have not obtained a legal ™️ Trademark from the US Patent and Trademark Beurau.

The license under which Snap! takes place states: “ Suppose you develop and release a free program under the ordinary GNU GPL. If developer D modifies the program and releases it, the GPL requires him to distribute his version under the GPL too. Thus, if you get a copy of his version, you are free to incorporate some or all of his changes into your own version.”

I don't think I am, but I just wanted to know if i wanted to, theoretically, i could

Re-read it I edited*

Even if they did obtain a Trademark (which shouldn't be possible on Snap, as all projects are using the same license which cannot be changed), it cannot be used

It’s licensed under GNU. “ Published software should be free software. To make it free software, you need to release it under a free software license. We normally use the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL), specifying version 3 or any later version, but occasionally we use other free software licenses. We use only licenses that are compatible with the GNU GPL for GNU software.”

Snap! is under similar licensing.

Important: “ Suppose you develop and release a free program under the ordinary GNU GPL. If developer D modifies the program and releases it, the GPL requires him to distribute his version under the GPL too. Thus, if you get a copy of his version, you are free to incorporate some or all of his changes into your own version.”

[quote] The GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

The purpose of the GNU Affero GPL is to prevent a problem that affects developers of free programs that are often used on servers.

Suppose you develop and release a free program under the ordinary GNU GPL. If developer D modifies the program and releases it, the GPL requires him to distribute his version under the GPL too. Thus, if you get a copy of his version, you are free to incorporate some or all of his changes into your own version.

But suppose the program is mainly useful on servers. When D modifies the program, he might very likely run it on his own server and never release copies. Then you would never get a copy of the source code of his version, so you would never have the chance to include his changes in your version. You may not like that outcome.

Using the GNU Affero GPL avoids that outcome. If D runs his version on a server that everyone can use, you too can use it. Assuming he has followed the license requirement to let the server's users download the source code of his version, you can do so, and then you can incorporate his changes into your version. (If he hasn't followed it, you have your lawyer complain to him.)

Both the ordinary GNU GPL, version 3, and the GNU Affero GPL have text allowing you to link together modules under these two licenses in one program.

The GNU Affero GPL does not address the problem of Service as a Software Substitute (SaaSS).

SaaSS means that users use someone else's web server to do their own computing. This requires them to send their data to the server, which does their computing for them and sends the results back to them. SaaSS is an injustice because the users cannot control their computing when it's done that way.

If some program on this server is released under the GNU Affero GPL, the server is required to offer the users the corresponding source of that program. That is good, but having this source code does not give them control over the computing done on that server. It also does not tell them what other software may be running on that server, examining or changing their data in other ways.

We don't see any sensible way to address the SaaSS problem with license conditions on particular programs. Even to write a legal condition to distinguish between SaaSS use and non-SaaSS use would be a challenge, and if we had that, we don't see anything that the program's license might require in the SaaSS case that would correct the inherent wrong of SaaSS. Thus, our solution to the problem of SaaSS is simple: refuse to use services that are SaaSS.

If a program is meant specifically and only for SaaSS, you shouldn't write it. But many programs are useful for a variety of kinds of services, including some that are SaaSS and some that are not. It's useful to write and release these programs so people can set up non-SaaSS services with them, and good to release them under the AGPL.

ok im not gonna read the quote cuz thats really long and i alr understand, and so ill just make ur answer as answer and continue working on 2d 3d geometry dash

Just read this: Suppose you develop and release a free program under the ordinary GNU GPL. If developer D modifies the program and releases it, the GPL requires him to distribute his version under the GPL too. Thus, if you get a copy of his version, you are free to incorporate some or all of his changes into your own version.

They genuinely don't make any sense, because if they're putting it up on snap as a kit, that means that you should be able to use it in your own projects, with credit of course. That's not stealing. If they wanted to use a different license, they'd have to upload the file to another site, and add the license there, because all projects on the snap website use the same license, no matter what.

Snap! Build Your Own Blocks..

Notice in their notes it even says you can use but below it says you can’t?

Trademarks have nothing to do with it. If someone publishes a project and gives it a name, in principle they could trademark the name, and you couldn't publish your version with the same name.

As a real example, we (for example) are allowed to use Scratch resources, including their source code if we wanted, because they licensed it that way, but we're not allowed to call our program "Scratch," because that's their trademark. (They also trademarked their cat, so we can't include it in our costume collection.)

P.S. When they came out with Scratch Jr. I suggested to Mitch that we should change the name of Snap! to "Scratch Sr." but he did not like that idea. :~)

And Pico and Giga and Nano and Tera, IIRC.

Yes, and Gobo too, but we got special permission because we're cool.

Oh, I forgot about Gobo. I was thinking of the ones named after the "kilo", "mega", "milli", etc. prefixes.

as most people who join social media use their real name.

Scratch Sr.

ok

Their username is megam123, which I think is supposed to be read as "Mega M. 123".
