Publishers cannot include content from the Asset Store in their packages due to licensing restrictions. However, tools from the Asset Store can be used to create or alter content owned by the publisher, as long as the tools themselves are not included in the new package. Publishers can also develop and sell add-ons for third-party products from the Asset Store, provided the original content is not included. Always check asset product pages for specific licensing details.✨
Resolution:
Publishers are prohibited from including any content in their packages that they do not own the rights to sell or distribute. This includes content sourced from the Asset Store, which cannot be reused in another publisher's package due to licensing restrictions.
It's important to clarify that tools obtained from the Asset Store that are used to create or alter content owned by the publisher can be sold, as long as the tools used are not included in the new package.
Additionally, publishers may develop and sell add-ons or expansions for third-party products available on the Asset Store, as long as the original content is not incorporated into these add-ons. It is recommended that publishers notify the original content creators about their intentions.
You may notice that some assets on the Asset Store have slightly different or custom licensing restrictions. If this is the case, the asset product page itself will state this within its description.
