# Attribution, licensing, and asset provenance
|
|
|
|
This is the authoritative project record for ownership, credits, license
|
|
boundaries, third-party notices, asset provenance, and redistribution checks.
|
|
A Git commit proves when bytes entered the repository; it does not by itself
|
|
prove authorship or licensing.
|
|
|
|
## Ownership and credits
|
|
|
|
NETfishing is jointly owned, developed, and published by its creators,
|
|
publicly credited as Voyager and Endeavour and operating collectively as the
|
|
independent team Woofmeow.
|
|
|
|
- Voyager: co-owner, developer, project director, creator of the game's 3D
|
|
art, and composer of the original title/ambient track
|
|
`audio/music/title/as_in_four_wolves.ogg`, world track
|
|
`audio/music/world/craft.mp3`, and animalese placeholder tones.
|
|
- Endeavour: co-owner, developer, and creator of the game's 2D art, including
|
|
the original fish, environment, UI, and other artwork.
|
|
- chillnfill: contributor of original 3D models for the character bodies and
|
|
arms, ears and tails, and multiple world props and decorative assets,
|
|
including trees and bridges. The contributor requested to be credited as
|
|
`chillnfill`.
|
|
- Tekgator: creator of the cooler-capacity, reel-speed, and barrier-power shop
|
|
icons.
|
|
|
|
Voyager is also the original catalog porter credit in PortMaster metadata.
|
|
Third-party creators are credited with their individual records below. Those
|
|
credits do not imply endorsement of NETfishing, Woofmeow, or its owners.
|

## License map
|
|
|
|
Do not describe the complete repository as covered only by the GPL.
|
|
|
|
| Material | Governing terms |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Project-owned software code, shaders, code-oriented scene/resource configuration, tests, build tooling, and server software | GPL-3.0-or-later; source-root `LICENSE` and packaged `GPL-3.0-or-later.txt` |
|
|
| Project-owned artwork, textures, models, animation, music, audio, narrative content, characters, and other creative assets | Source-root or packaged `ASSET-LICENSE.md` |
|
|
| NETfishing and Woofmeow names, logos, icons, and official identity | Source-root or packaged `TRADEMARKS.md` |
|
|
| Third-party engines, fonts, sounds, and other external material | Their original terms, recorded below and in adjacent license texts where applicable |
|
|
| New outside contributions | Source-root `CONTRIBUTOR-TERMS.md` plus any separately signed agreement |
|
|
|
|
Generated Godot import metadata and deterministic generated resources follow
|
|
the terms of their source material or generating code. Repository location
|
|
alone does not relicense third-party material.
|
|
|
|
The GPL permits study, modification, redistribution, and forks of covered
|
|
code. It does not grant rights to NETfishing creative assets or branding. The
|
|
NETfishing Asset License separately permits qualifying noncommercial add-on
|
|
Mods for official NETfishing software; it does not permit those assets to
|
|
accompany code forks, clones, standalone games, unrelated products, or
|
|
general-purpose asset packs. A GPL fork must replace NETfishing assets and
|
|
reserved branding with independently licensed material and a distinct
|
|
identity.
|
|
|
|
Project-wide code, asset, branding, or contributor-license changes require
|
|
written approval from both NETfishing owners under their private joint
|
|
ownership agreement.

### chillnfill 3D model contribution record
|
|
|
|
- Requested credit: `chillnfill`.
|
|
- Original contribution families: character bodies and arms; character ears
|
|
and tails; and multiple world props and decorative assets, including trees
|
|
and bridges.
|
|
- Repository mapping: character contributions are incorporated into the
|
|
character source/export families identified above. Prop contributions may
|
|
be incorporated into combined environment source and export files rather
|
|
than retained as one file per originally supplied model.
|
|
- Permission record: because these historical contributions predate the
|
|
current `CONTRIBUTOR-TERMS.md`, retain the original permission record or a
|
|
later written confirmation covering Project use, modification,
|
|
distribution, commercial release, and applicable sublicensing.
|
|
|
|
### Fur customization channel-map record
|
|
|
|
Original channel-map artwork by Endeavour. Repository paths preserve the

## Generated resources
|
|
|
|
Godot `.import` sidecars and deterministic shoreline `.tres` meshes are derived
|
|
repository resources, not original artwork. `.godot/imported/`, editor caches,
|
|
captures, exports, and temporary test data are not tracked.
|
|
|
|
## Release gate
|
|
|
|
Before a public binary or source release:
|
|
|
|
1. Search exported resources for external filesystem paths.
|
|
2. Include or make readily accessible the complete GPL text and identify the
|
|
exact corresponding source tag or commit.
|
|
3. Include `ASSET-LICENSE.md`, `TRADEMARKS.md`, this attribution/provenance
|
|
record, both font notices, and every applicable third-party license.
|
|
4. Retain the complete Godot Engine MIT notice above.
|
|
5. Preserve third-party terms without adding incompatible restrictions.
|
|
6. Avoid referring to a dirty or unavailable source revision.
|
|
7. Publish or offer equivalent access to exact corresponding GPL source for
|
|
every distributed binary release.
|
|
|
|
Desktop and PortMaster build scripts stage these authoritative files as
