You are free to use them as is or modify them to your liking. All i ask is you credit me if you do use them please :)

This is what’s known as an “informal license” and, in some countries, it puts people who take you up on that offer at legal risk.

My advice is to edit the metadata in the “More Information” box and set “Asset License” to one of the versions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license, which lays out “do whatever you want as long as you give me credit” in precise legal terms.

No problem. You make good stuff, so it’d be a shame if people couldn’t use it because of quirks in their country’s laws.

Having stuff under a proper license also means that I can add it to the list I’m building to help people find assets I wish I had when I was a kid. (I was learning to program but had no pixel-art skills. I ended up giving up on games and doing non-game programming instead.)

That said, I notice that you made the same change to some of your other assets, but the description says “Licence is under CCBYSA”. You’ll want to change either their descriptions or their “More Information” blocks so they agree.

Hey, the main reason I understand as much as I do is that I’ve been following a lot of blogs about tech, the law, and open-source stuff over the years. It’s really something people should get a more formal introduction to.

Also, while it’s not a show-stopper since you’ve got the proper info in the “More Information” box, “CCA” doesn’t actually mean anything anyone will recognize. The abbreviation for “Creative Commons Attribution v4.0” is “CC BY 4.0”. (The easiest way to check these sorts of things is to look at the Creative Commons site. The URL is https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ and the title is “Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)”)
