Effective Date: [01-04-2026]

At SUF Studios, we heavily appreciate Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and the general ethics of sharing knowledge without selfish or greedy motives. We prefer innovation over the restrictive use of copyrights and patents to exploit others for financial gain. However, we also understand and respect the importance of intellectual property laws in protecting creators and ensuring sustainable work environments.

Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all original content produced by SUF Studios—including text, video content on our YouTube channels, custom graphics, and website copy—is All Rights Reserved by SUF Studios.

2. Open Source Exceptions

Where stated, specific digital and hardware projects may be released under permissive licenses (such as the MIT License, GNU GPL, or Creative Commons). If a specific code repository or hardware schematic is tagged with one of these licenses, the terms of that specific license apply to that piece of work.

3. Inspiration vs. Harmful Copying

We feel honored when our work serves as an inspiration. We appreciate creativity and encourage our audience to build upon the ideas we present.

However, if our work is copied, re-uploaded, or imitated in a way that financially, reputationally, or operationally harms SUF Studios, our partners, or the community, we strictly prohibit it. In such events:

  • We will first ask for the immediate removal of the harmful content.
  • We reserve the absolute right to take formal legal action to protect our work and our ecosystem if the request is ignored.
