KSP Screenshots & Copyright

[lsutic]

Hi,

I have a small open-source project called "Bigshot" ( http://code.google.com/p/bigshot/ ). It's a standards-compliant VR panorama viewer for web pages. As a part of the functionality, I have a function where one can overlay an image on the panorama. I also have a demo-panorama of Mars.

I'd like to demo the image overlay function by putting a kerbal into the Mars panorama. Something like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bradcox34/8411215042/in/photostream , except with one kerbal, no lander and then photoshop out the kerbal as an alpha-transparent image, and put it all into a real Mars background.

Now, I can get a shot of a kerbal on Duna or something, but my question is: What is Squad's view of the copyright of such an image? (Unless the view is "go ahead and do whatever", I'll just have to look for something else.)

Hi lsutic, your best option is to contact Squad at [email protected]

Your inquiry will reach th right people that way

If your project is free, then all we would require is a copyright statement. If you have commercial intentions, we're going to have to say no.

Cheers!
