>>44236790almost everyone can tell when someone's used gf's existing assets in their hack whereas if someone rips out a sprite from, i dunno, clover and uses in their hack how are people supposed to know who made it and where it came from? you can't get in touch with the employee who made charizard's sprite but that's okay because hacks are transformative in nature and as such you don't have to specify which part's yours and which isn't, similar to how parodies work. if your plan is to make a library that people in the community are gonna use and contribute to you're gonna have to play by said community's rules whether you like it or not, dipshit. also, try talking to an artist for once
