Is scripts has license ?

Is it possible that scripts has some license ?
in example, if i found some useful scripts from github and brought its in my project and selling my project. is that legal ?
Or if i buy character controller scripts from assets store and then i made some game template using that little part of character controllers scripts and selling it back into the assets store. is it still legal ?

 

Yes. Scripts can have licenses. Github, for example, is filled with open source code. Some of the licenses will allow commercial use but others may restrict the manner in which you sell it and others may not allow it at all.

 

Yes, scripts are covered by license/copyright/etc, just like normal code..

Also, if that script from github does not have "license" file and does not specify the license, then you're not allowed to use it outside of github. You can look at it, fork it on github, but not redistribute it in any way.

Github rules. It is an interesting approach, actually, I learned about it when I investigated using github as jekyll host.

I believe by default it is forbidden by asset store rules to sell a derivative. You will need to contact the author for an explicit permission.

 

I should go update my repos. I've got a few that are fully intended to be CC0. But I didn't actually include a lisence file...

 

Yes, you probably should. Here's excerpts of the exchange I had with github suport

It is most likely not exactly about having a license file, basically, somewhere in the project settings you can specify your license. If you forget to specify one, or choose not to specify it, and there's no license file, you get those "look, but don't touch" rules.
