Neon has announced a new SCP Foundation movie to be released theatrically in 2027, explicitly committing to the Creative Commons ShareAlike license to address community concerns raised by A24's earlier announcement.
A24’s planned V/H/S entry set in the SCP Foundation universe is drawing scrutiny over Creative Commons licensing. The SCP Foundation Wiki says it has had no contact with the filmmakers, and CC BY-SA 3.0 makes it hard for anyone to claim exclusive rights to SCP, potentially forcing any film released under the license to be non-exclusive or to be released under the same terms. Legal experts suggest A24 could abandon SCP branding or release the film under CC BY-SA (with attribution), but exclusive distribution would be impossible and a traditional theatrical rollout could become problematic. The situation highlights a broader risk for film projects built on CC-licensed IP.
Valve released the CAD files for the Steam Machine's exterior under a Creative Commons non-commercial license, enabling sharing and adaptation but prohibiting commercial use; the files are meant to help users create custom fronts, with Valve cautioning that any damage won’t be covered by warranty and that professional work is advised. The move has generated talk of DIY skins like a GabeCube, though no concrete designs have surfaced yet.
Valve has released CAD files (.STP/.STL) and engineering diagrams for the Steam Controller and Puck under a non-commercial Creative Commons license that requires attribution and sharing of designs. The files enable modders to create accessories (skins, stands, grips) while keeping signal-friendly areas unobstructed; commercial use may be negotiated with Valve. This follows Valve’s pattern of releasing hardware blueprints for its devices to the community.
