EULA Clarification on Output

Hello,

So far WaveBots has been a really interesting way to create audio. Congratulations on building such a cool product.

The EULA for WaveBots specifies the following in regards to the Output:

To the greatest extent enforceable under applicable law, the Output is dedicated to the public domain according to the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication ("CC0").

There's a small blurb in the original blog post that touches on the intention of this:

All the output from the system is CC0, which means that it is free to use in commercial and non-commercial projects without any attribution.

The blog post makes the intention sound to be having me, as a user, free to use the output. However the language from the EULA sounds like the output I create must be dedicated to public domain under CC0. Is this the case? If so, if I am working on a closed-source project, this makes it sound like all of my music and sounds would need to be public domain.

Any clarification is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the question Dharby!

The idea behind the CC0 in this case is that I, as the developer of the algorithm, is going to claim as little rights as possible for the output.

My understanding of how this translates into practical treatment of the output in commercial applications is however very limited.

I will take a closer look at the EULA and check if it can be rephrased so it matches the intended meaning.

Thanks for the quick reply. That's great to hear. That's the intention that I believed to be behind the EULA, and it makes sense. With the way it's phrased now, it does give me pause that I do not have any ownership of the output I generate.

I'll be picking up the paid version of WaveBots later today and look forward to getting more time with it. Thanks again.

US law says anything you make with an app is yours.
