I think you're very confused about intellectual property and how it works.

I think those license agreements have been following the very old habit of adding some licenses that may not be necessary to use, but this is virtually infringing on the interests of the author.

On the contrary. If you don't give itch.io a license to distribute your game... then itch.io is legally forbidden from doing that. So the license grant is absolutely necessary if you want to put a game on the site. If you don't like that, okay. It's your right. But nobody's trying to cheat you, steal from you or anything. So please stop this already, you're annoying people.

You have seriously misunderstood what I said. I said that what I hate is making other products based on my works, such as toys and other adaptations. Or make my original characters into pornographic cartoons or movies or another version of pornographic games. My country does not allow pornography, including authorizing foreigners to produce pornographic works, or I will be arrested.

I do not prohibit the platform from copying a copy of the game for sale and distribution. This is the point of divergence.

I have pointed out at the top that derivative works have a very broad meaning. If you just want to copy and distribute works, I will not stop it. What I prevent is to use the definition of derivative works to make other adaptations of the game and make money from it. Do you understand? Please do not mislead others.

If the platform requires a copy, please make clear, rather than using such disgusting words as derivative works. thank you

Derivative works, in this case, means for example a cropped or resized screenshot. Things like that. It's not about merchandise or the like. You're making stuff up. Also, you did not explain clearly what you mean, and you've been rude to a lot of people by now, who were only trying to help. Can we end this conversation already?

I find that you are distorting the meaning of derivative works. If you specifically refer to adapting the size of pictures or using the promotional video of the game, you can add a bracket to explain it (and limit the scope of authorization), but there is no explanation. I have reason to think that it includes a series of operations such as "re creation", "adaptation", "code modification", and "toy creation".

You're the only one in the world who gets angry? Can't I be angry as a writer?

You're the only one here posting angry rants that go on and on. You're also the only one clinging to that interpretation of "derivative works", after several people told you that's not what it means in this case. Guess there's no point in trying to continue since you've made up your mind.
