Hi,

I have a question about attribution license, for example https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/

In an android game, where exactly do I need to provide credit for the assets (pretty much all the assets I have use this license).

For now I have a screen in game where all of the assets are listed along with links to where I got them from. I also have a website for the game, where all the assets are listed with same links.

I have not seen other games list assets in-game, so is it enough to just list them on website? and could I remove the screen from game? I am not sure if it looks good to have a huge list (few screens full) of assets.

Thanks.

Often for Android programs on Google Play, most companies list web sites at the bottom of their description. Often they will have a product-centric landing page, the specific EULA page, and a terms of service page. The appropriate details about publicly licensed software are generally found on one or more of those pages.
