Updated Cortex Non-commercial license

On the Cortex Prime kickstarter page a new non-commercial license was announced. For people that didn't see/forgot, a license was originally last year that was not received well (it was overly restrictive and included sections that seemed like they were copied from open source software so it didn't really address a lot of uses for a TTRPG).

Summary of Major Changes

  • Clarified what you share with this license.

Fandom does not own content made with this license.); FAQ includes best practices for crediting works when used in this fashion.
  • Revised clause on distribution to allow those creating with this license to distribute on platforms that don’t have T&C that otherwise violate this license, specifically includes Itch.io as an approved non-commercial distribution channel.
  • Clarified what this license does NOT apply to (e.g. Content made solely for fun / entertainment purposes, content made to be sold / for commercial purposes)
