I think there's some confusion. Regrets for bad UX here.

thanks for chiming in on this - so the unicons can be used on anything? and the other products who guys sell... stock photos? can't be used on sex sites?

I have an open, as in free to use sex chat site, it's not overly pornographic, but vimeo refused and refunded my pro account because of one hardcore solo sex pic on the second page of the site -

So I am used to looking for issues.. when I started using fontello to snipe pieces of font awesome and such I deployed that custom icon and font code to a half dozen adult web sites within a month.. so if your service would leave us with any kind of complaints in the future, please inform now - I would hate to run into the same issue I ran into with another company in India - RtMedia - where we spent considerable time and a bit of money merging sites with their code.. and now they won't take support tickets on a problem plugin since it's an adult site - (they have changed terms to be more restrictive since when we first started using them) - so now I have some serious problems with photo galleries and other things that would not be an issue if I skipped using them and instead went with the one 'competitor' that does not have the same issues.

This is not a complaint - it's totally cool to do whatever you want to do with your stuff, just curious what possible problems could arise. thanks for looking out.

The ux did get quite confusing - what stuff is available, what stuff is included with different prices - and there appears to be separate issue with licensing depending not on what products you offer, or which plan someone signs up for, but also where the products are to be placed?

I remember something similar with fotolia, which has been aquired and ruined by adobe - so maybe the internet archive can show the kind of ux they had and may be helpful?

I think it was pay for use (like on a web site, banner ad, etc), pay extra for put assets into a product to sell (like software for sale)- and pay much extra for license to use on physical merchandise for sale. Maybe three checkboxes to choose the use before adding to cart? Barely remember, it's been a long while.

I think using the term open source is not always good for people- as there are different definitions it seems.. like is it free? or is it open source to see but not free to use.. or. I'm using open source software on my sex chat site (wordpress) and it's free to use - so it's kind of that.. but you can't open up the database and look at private messages.

I dunno, maybe you are trying to put your products only in software for sale and not advertisements or web sites in general. Not sure, hope these thoughts help.
