Usage Labels - What is Commercial/Personal Usage
Unlabeled Items, Downloads and Resources
1. If an item is unlabeled for licensing or usage please consider it "Free for Personal Use", Do not use the item commercially without permission. I also urge you to contact me (or use Dirt2.com's search) if you are unsure of the item's usage license as the information you need may be available on Dirt2.com if it is not made available on outside websites.
"Free for Commercial Use" License (FFCU)
1. Products labeled as "Free for Commercial Use" may be used freely for personal projects, charity, church projects, school projects and business/commercial projects. Products labeled as "Free for Commercial Use" are not to be considered public domain, Original copyright retains to Dirt2.com (Andrew2) but changes may be made and the item may be redistributed freely. If you wish to use the "FFCU" licensed item as a base for another redistributable resource (using a font to make another font) please keep Dirt2.com credited to the original item but feel free to add your copyright to the item as well. You may not fully claim copyright over items licensed as "FFCU" independently. No permission is necessary to use these items for any reason.
"Free for Personal Use" License (FFPU)
1. This license allows the item to be used for all private, non-profitable products. You may make as many products as you want (products include art, business cards, scrapbook print pages, photo edits, personal website or graphics) as long as no money is exchanged and the item is not being sold.
1. You may use the item for school assignments and projects.
2. You may use the item for personal art projects, personal photos etc.
3. You may use the item for non-profit church projects and community projects.
4. You may use the item on personal websites, personal ads, business cards, personal logos (that aren't purchasable products).
Question: I am unsure if what I want to do is considered "commercial use"?
Answer: Just think of it this way, If there is absolutely any involved where one of my items is included/printed/used then it is commercial. If you are doing personal projects, items for charity, school projects (etc.) then you don't have a client you are selling to and you are not reselling my item.
