Copyright

As shown in our GitHub repository:

The MIT License is a permissive free software license that allows for the reuse of software, including the ability to copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and sell copies of the software, provided that the original copyright notice and permission notice are included in all copies or substantial portions of the software.

This license allows users to use our code in nearly any way they see fit, including in commercial applications, with minimal restrictions. The simplicity and openness of the MIT License encourage collaboration and sharing while maintaining the original author’s rights.

The content, tools, and other works on this website are original works created by our team or contributors. We have ensured that our work does not infringe on the rights of others. Any resemblance to other works is coincidental or results from the shared use of publicly available game mechanics, which are not subject to copyright.

Additionally, the monster icons featured on this site are vector-based representations created by us, distinct from Capcom’s raster-based icons. These vector icons are original works and do not infringe on Capcom’s copyright. The characters themselves (monsters in this case) still belong to Capcom. To see an example of these vector icons, visit our Icon Generator.

We respect copyright laws and have taken all necessary steps to ensure that any third-party content used on this site is appropriately licensed or used with proper attribution. If we have utilized third-party content, it is done in compliance with the terms set forth by the original creators. Should any issues arise, we are committed to promptly addressing and rectifying them.

There have been instances of misleading claims regarding our work. To clarify, our content is legally and ethically sound, created independently, and adheres to copyright law. These claims, which suggest otherwise, lack a legal basis and are intended to mislead the public. We provide examples and further explanations below this section.

• Watermarking Capcom Icons: Placing a watermark on Capcom’s original monster icons and claiming ownership is an infringement of Capcom’s copyright, not a demonstration of legitimate ownership.

  1. Capcom's Copyright: Capcom, as the original creator of the monster icons, holds the copyright to those images. This gives them the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display, or create derivative works based on those icons.

  2. Unauthorized Use: If someone takes Capcom's copyrighted icons and adds their watermark, they are creating an unauthorized derivative work. Even if they add a watermark or make minor modifications, the underlying image still belongs to Capcom, and they would need permission from Capcom to use it in this way.

  3. Claiming Ownership: By placing a watermark on the image, the person is falsely implying ownership or authorship of the image, which could mislead others and is a form of misrepresentation.

  4. Accusing Others of Stealing: If the person is accusing others of stealing "their" version of the image, this is not legally valid since the image originally belongs to Capcom. Any claim they make based on their unauthorized use would not hold up legally.

In summary, such a person would be infringing on Capcom's copyright by using their monster icons without permission and adding a watermark. This not only violates copyright law but also potentially misleads others about the ownership of the work. Capcom would have the right to take legal action if they became aware of this unauthorized use.

To reiterate, the monster icons featured on this site are vector-based representations created by us, distinct from Capcom’s raster-based icons. These vector icons are original works and do not infringe on Capcom’s copyright. The characters themselves (monsters in this case) still belong to Capcom. To see an example of these vector icons, visit our Icon Generator.

• False Claims About Our Work: Accusations that our works or other tools are stolen or copied are unsubstantiated. Our tools are developed independently, based on publicly available information, and do not use any proprietary code or design elements from other sources.

  1. Copyright on Functionalities: Generally, copyright law does not protect ideas, procedures, methods of operation, or mathematical concepts. If an external work is based on externally set constraints by a video game (such as formulas or in-game mechanics), those underlying principles are not protected by copyright. What might be protected is the specific expression of those ideas—like the code, design, and overall presentation.

  2. Original Code: If you're not copying the code that was written in a certain programming language or framework, but instead writing your own implementation in another programming language or framework, you're creating an independent work. Copyright would only apply if you directly copied substantial portions of the original code.

  3. User Interface (UI): Creating a different UI further distinguishes a work from another. Visual design and layout can be protected under copyright, but since the UI is different, it's not infringing on that aspect.

In summary, as long as you’re independently implementing a work in a certain programming language or framework, with your own code and a different UI, and not copying any unique elements of an external work, you are not violating copyright.

• Direct Contact: If there are any issues or concerns regarding content on this website, please contact us directly for resolution. Publicly shaming or involving others in such matters is unproductive and contrary to professional conduct.

• Open Collaboration: We are open to collaboration and cross-referencing with other creators in the community. Our philosophy is rooted in helping players, and we believe in working together for the benefit of the community.

• Good Faith: We ask that any concerns be raised in good faith, with the understanding that we are committed to ethical practices and respect for intellectual property.

If you have any claims or issues related to copyright infringement or other intellectual property concerns regarding content on this website, please direct them to us for resolution. We are committed to addressing any valid concerns and ensuring that our work remains compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.

However, please be aware that in most cases, a copyright claim should be submitted by the copyright owner or an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner. This means that the person or entity who holds the copyright has the primary right to file a claim. A third party, such as a lawyer or a company specializing in copyright enforcement, would need explicit authorization to act on behalf of the copyright owner. If someone other than the copyright owner or their authorized agent tries to submit a claim, it might not be considered valid, and the platform receiving the claim may reject it or require further proof of authorization.
