Hey friends, one of my clown partners and I made a thing, playing with the fact that.. you can just make up your own rules for who can play with the things you create.

It's my second run at creating something of the kind, so when looking at how disheartening the impact of AI has been on creative folks all over, we decided to build a new ruleset for the release of some upcoming projects, and make it something others can use as well.

Or, as the license itself says:

"We made a ridiculous thing with our silly human brains, using our filthy human hands, in order to inspire our messy human hearts.

It is with strong encouragement, and a few simple rules, that we invite you to use your brains, hands, and hearts to play along with us."

Enjoy the Filthy Human Hands v1.0 License

@pastelexuvia I expect you can. There's definitely nothing in the FHH that prohibits it. Some publications may have their own expectations for the licensing agreement they're willing to agree to, and many are run by organizations too large to use something under this license.

A cool thing is that just because you release a work under a license, doesn't mean you can't *additionally* allow someone else to use the same work under a different licensing agreement. It's your copyright to waive under *your* terms.

Some publications prefer something they can have exclusive rights to, but I don't think most do. I recommend checking over the license expectations that the publication *should* be making available to you before you submit a work to it.
