Comments:
- The Open Art License contains major necessary features for normal functioning of a work of art:
- Freedom of use: creative, commercial and non-commercial
- Mandatory attribution to the author.
- It is not limited to a specific cultural area.
- It automatically applies to derivatives of a work licensed under Free Art License.
- If the rights to a work are bought from the author, the Free Art License becomes invalid (though this is not openly stated in the license).
- The license text itself is not copyrighted, thus can be freely used to build new licenses upon it in all countries where copyright is not automatic.
Limitations embedded in the license are as follows:
- The legal basis for this license is copyright law only.
- It relies on French law only.
- It does not offer incentives to a publisher and sponsor of the work, and, consequently, limits the author's incentives.
