So I'm making a game asset and I want to know how I can properly and legally put a license on this. The asset have a basic pack (for free trial) and a premium pack (which contains all the assets including tilesets, characters, ui, etc.).
I have published a document through google docs which contains the content of the license for my game asset: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/e/2PACX-1vTYYwNKLwTcEKFbzBaJRMyaXxqLwn7fx...
is it fine like this or should I do it in other legal ways?
Licenses written by amateurs are known as crayon licenses. Such are unlikely to be touched by anyone because A: they have not been tested in court and B: are likely to be filled with loopholes, inconsistencies and ambiguities because C: they have not been written by a lawyer and D: they have not been tested in court.
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 :).
