Yes, thank you. So is it fine though if I just linked some other standard/generic licenses from other asset stores? Can I do that instead?

I’m not sure, I’m afraid. I’ve heard that even licenses can be under copyright, or at least the writing describing them.

If you wish to be 99% confident, your only choices are to either get a lawyer to write a license for you, or copy freely available licenses like those of Creative Commons. None of those are ideal, I know, but please don’t kill the messenger :).

Yes, I've looked on creative commons but I don't seem to understand the terms they use. Which I think doesn't fit to my needs. It's good tho, maybe creating two licences for non-commercial and commercial would be fine? 

Also I can't get a lawyer for this cause I'm broke :(
