      Not quite.

      Firstly releasing under the GNU GPL means you are definitely retaining your copyright, you couldn't enforce your license if you didn't.

      Secondly the GNU GPL is what's called a copyleft license, that means anyone who wants to make a derivative work must release their work under the same license. So somebody could use your images in another project (assuming they are not trademarked) but their work would also have to be released under the GNU GPL.

        Maybe I could protect it with NFT or a whatever

            @d-healey So I need to register UD AUDIO as trademark?
            I will never understand licences. It's just to confusing.
            If the HISE license systems will get a nice indie license I would go for it.
            But I really have no clue..

              @UD-AUDIO If you register a logo as a trademark that will affect the reuse of the logo but not any other images

                But there is another way: Be the first and be the best!
                It's just hard without an already existing customer base / fanbase.
                I should make music, release some EPs and get some fans :D
                And true fans will protect any of my work in any area of the www and maybe darknet aswell hahah

                  @d-healey Ok but can I have a trademark on the GUI image or does the GNU license also effect images?

                    @UD-AUDIO - you cant trademark a GUI image - its a "TRADE" mark - a mark that identifies your trading entity, also have you looked into teh cost of trademarking?

                      @Lindon Oh yes I mean copyright. The costs are damn high. But all I do is trying to find a solution to protect a plugin from beeing ripped.
                      I don't think you can fully protect anything.
                      And there is no global system for all countries. Well...

                      My solution:

                      1. Be the first and be the best :D
                      2. Make your name big and get your website popular

                      There might be rip-offs but if people don't know where to grab the original, it wouldn't be my problem right?

                        There is already a commercial license system for HISE in place, but in your case I would just recommend GPL and don't bother about possible copycats.

                          I don't really understand your intention.
                          If you start a community project, it should be clear to you that it is usually open source. That basically applies to all components.

                          Have you ever seen a stolen plugin or a stolen GUI?

                          If you don't want to make your work public - pay Christoph the licence fee and you can develop a closed, protected application.
                          Like some people do here.

                          "It's easier to hit the developer with feature requests than to spend 10 minutes reading the manual. :-)))"

                              This is the main thing I wanted to know. And if I can protect my GUI in any way.
                              Yes you're right and I agreed on making the project public to everybody.
                              But I wish to release it as VSTi aswell. And because of that I need to know those things :)

                              I really never have seen a 100% identical rip-off.

                              I thought that open source is code only. Guess it will take at least ten years for me to get a solid knowledge for making commercial plugins.

                              Please don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with that but I don't like to be uninformed.
