Fan Work Guidelines

This guide explains how to create fan works featuring Stack-chan.

To make the Stack-chan characters easier for third parties to use, we have set the following guidelines. Following these guidelines, you may use them for commercial or non-commercial purposes without needing to contact us.

Audience

Scope of the "Stack-chan" character

"Stack-chan" refers to robots built only with data managed in this repository. Therefore, robots that use modified Stack-chan data distributed by third parties are not covered. The following robots are excluded:

• Derivative works such as "Obunaizu-chan," "Wionterminal-chan," and "Microbit-chan" that combine Stack-chan with boards other than M5Stack
• "Bipedal Stack-chan," a Stack-chan given the ability to walk

For derivative works of these robots, permission from the author of each work is required.

Scope of "Derivative Works"

In these guidelines, "derivative works" refers to creative works that use the character "Stack-chan" described above. Examples include:

• Photo collections or video works featuring a Stack-chan robot
• Manga or novels in which Stack-chan appears
• Stack-chan acrylic stands and key chains
• Stack-chan plush toys

On the other hand, using the data in this repository to make something that is not Stack-chan is not covered. The following uses are outside the scope:

• Using the firmware source code to control an IoT device
• Installing servo motor brackets into a different type of robot

The data is separately governed by an open-source license, so please follow the terms of that license.

Compliance and Prohibited Matters

Description and credit attribution

Please state the following two points in a place visible to users of the derivative work (such as the colophon of a book, the product description page, or the instruction manual):

1. That ｽﾀｯｸﾁｬﾝ was created by ししかわ
2. As a reference, the URL of the ｽﾀｯｸﾁｬﾝ GitHub repository (https://github.com/stack-chan/stack-chan (opens in a new tab))

It is fine as long as an example sentence like the following is posted somewhere:

ｽﾀｯｸﾁｬﾝ is a palm-sized, super-cute communication robot developed and published by ししかわ (opens in a new tab). Project page: https://github.com/stack-chan/stack-chan (opens in a new tab)

Prohibition of expressions that compromise political, religious, or ideological neutrality, and of attacks on third parties

Please refrain from publishing derivative works that include expressions falling under any of the following:

1. Works intended to harm the views or reputation of Stack-chan contributors or of third parties
2. Works that excessively support or disparage a particular political, religious, or ideological position
3. Works containing antisocial expressions
4. Works that infringe the rights of third parties

Appropriate Zoning

For expression that is not covered by the "prohibited items" but is still strong or graphic, such as R-18 content or depictions of violence, please apply appropriate zoning.

1. Tag it with NSFW (Not Safe For Work… viewing caution at work) or R-18
2. When publishing images on platforms such as Twitter, enable the "content warning" setting so that the content can only be viewed when users choose to open it
