Elephants Dream|Bassam Kurdali |Short Animation Movie

"Elephants Dream is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect.

Elephants Dream is the world’s first open movie, made entirely with open source graphics software such as Blender, and with all production files freely available to use..."

In short, this means you can freely reuse and distribute this content, also commercially, for as long you provide a proper attribution. The attribution is either one of the following cases 1) For the orange.blender.org website and files on the DVD ROMs: Blender Foundation | www.blender.org 2) If you screen or broadcast the entire movie and/or documentary: Include the entire credits roll in ending. 3) If you re-use (or screen, broadcast) parts of the movie or documentary itself, or duplicate the DVDs: © copyright 2006, Blender Foundation / Netherlands Media Art Institute / www.elephantsdream.org 4) Some of the texture files on the DVDs have an own Creative Commons attribution, these are indicated clearly. 5) The additional soundtrack audio files on this website are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 2.5 license. See the original announcement for details. This is the first time such a large collection of files get launched under ‘the commons’, and therefore still a bit complex to grasp what to credit when exactly. The guidelines above are just meant to ensure that attribution happens in a reasonable way. If in doubt, use the third choice above. Excluded from the Creative Commons is:

all logos on this website (including Blender logo, Orange logo, Creative Commons logo) and associated trademarks
the DVD cover (inlay) and DVD disc print

Examples You are free to duplicate the DVDs and distribute or sell them, but in that case you have to make your own cover art and DVD prints for it, with of course the proper attribution as mentioned above in 3). You are free to broadcast the movie and documentary on your local TV station, just include the entire credits roll too. You can re-edit parts of the movie into a video clip for your band, just include the attribution as mentioned above in 3). You can use textures and .blend files (or models, rigs, etc) from the data collection on the DVDs, also in commercial projects. Just make sure we get our short credit as mentioned above in 1). You can organize a screening in a cinema, and charge an entrance fee for it. Just include the movie credits in the screening. You can submit the movie to festivals even! Festivals can also screen the movie without our permission. It would be nice though to get a notification for it, especially when we win prizes! :)
