Permission Statement
What is this?
Despite the formatting, this is just general permission statement! It is not a legal agreement, merely a statement of boundaries. Take it as "if you do x, I am most likely to do y."
I'm generally okay with people reposting or playing with my art and writing as long as they aren't being jerks, but that's pretty vague, so this statement sets out to outline what "being a jerk" means to me, and what exactly I consider my art.

Statement
Coverage
This statement covers any art (examples: drawings, writing, videos) created, published and owned by Mrnnki, under previous or future names, on any platform, unless otherwise indicated. All personal and F2U art is property of Mrnnki. Commissions are owned by the client, and gifts are owned by their recipients. Use of commissions is controlled by the client. Use of gifts is controlled by the recipient. Mrnnki generally does not publish commissions, but may publish gifts. Because Mrnnki releases ownership of commissions and gifts to the recipient/client, they are not covered by this policy. Contact the recipient/client if you want to use a commission or gift Mrnnki has made.
Portions of art not owned or made by Mrnnki (examples: the music in a PMV, parts or characters by others in a collaborative project) are not covered by this statement. Usage of those portions are controlled by their respective rights holders.
As a general rule, visual art made after July 1st, 2025 that contains Mrnnki's signature is visual art Mrnnki retains all rights to, as Mrnnki does not sign commissions or gifts.
Code, such as HTML, CSS, or PHP, is not covered by this statement, but the art within code is. For example, someone posting an exact copy of this website is covered under this statement, but someone taking this website and using it as a template for their own (replacing the art with their own) is not, because Mrnnki's art was not used. Code may be covered by other policies or licenses.
