  1. Okey, I am curious about Scrpit .
    Well there're plenty of script like a free script and selling script, some script i bought it through the devoloper but some script I downloaded it for free.
    The question is can i use it to sell my game ? (I mean free script )
     
  2. you have to check the terms of use for any script you're using.


    Some of them are free for both non-commercial and commercial, some are free for non-commercial but require a licence for commercial use, some cannot be used commercial - and still others require a paid licence even for non-commercial use.


    You'll have to check each script anyway to see how the scripter wants to be credited, and that is required for both commercial and non-commercial use.


    If you copied the scripts from pages in other languages, you need a native speaker to translate the terms of use anyway, google translate is bad in such cases.


    And back to your main title: you need to obey copyrights and acquire a licence for anything you didn't create, no matter whether commercial or not - only in a lot of cases, those licences are free for non-commercial use (but not always, and the definition of "commercial" changes depending on scripter or artist)
  3. Well,It depend on the scripter.Some scripters allow only Non-Commercial use.And you need to buy a license to use their scripts(Pretty much all scripters).And there are who offer their scripts free for both commercial and non-commercial (like me :D ).And who charge money for their script for commercial and non-commercial use.If you don't want to run in trouble,read the Terms of Use throughly.
  4. I've moved this thread to Commercial Discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.
