Licenses

CARD FRONTS AND ONLINE CARD IMAGES
Basically, all images on the site used are defined under Creative Commons License Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works International 4.0 Generic specifically for Phylo trading card game use”, except where noted. The reason why we did this is that this particular license is most inclusive of artists who would rather retain full copyright above and beyond use for this project. Note that some online cards have more open licenses as determined by the details of agreements made between the deck host and artists. High quality cards can have more restrictive copyright licenses as determined by details of agreements made between the deck host and artists

CARD BACKS
Card backs (pdf) are under a Creative Commons License Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works International 4.0 Generic. This license can be adjusted to a Creative Commons Licensed Attribution 4.0 International if the cards/deck being produced also exist in a freely available online version. Please contact Dave Ng (db@mail.ubc.ca) to arrange this change.
