It's not clear whether David is involved in this project. Nothing against it but if you're going to use someone else's assets make sure you get at least his blessing. The author of the campaign is NOT David Revoy but some unknown guy from Russia. I personnally would not give any money to this kind of project if the original author is not clearly involved, Creative Commons or not.

They don't need his blessing because David Revoy explicitly released their webcomics under CC-BY. Although you're right about your clarification, I think the parent just wanted to talk about David Revoy in general rather than the author of the animation campaign.

I'm also confused about the involvement of David Revoy with this project, although it seems he isn't involved at all. I wasn't endorsing the campaign owner, I'm just sharing the love for David Revoy himself. If someone wants to support David, the best way would be to use his patreon page!

> They don't need his blessing

They are putting his name everywhere in the campaign like he is involved or something. He is clearly not. That's misleading and can be potentially detrimental to the person's reputation if the campaign ends up being a scam.

Again they might have the right to use his assets, they don't have the right to use his name to get money from people like this. That's completely wrong.

We had David Revoy over to our place last weekend for the Krita sprint (https://krita.org/en/item/new-builds-to-test-krita-sprint-to...) and he was very enthusiastic about this project, saying that Nikolai was really good at drawing. He loved the trailer! The campaign definitely is blessed by David.

The campaign is also endorsed by Konstantin Dmitriev, the person behind the Morevna project who gave Synfig a new lease of life.

So I had no hesitation to promote his campaign on the Krita website: https://krita.org/en/item/pepper-carrot-comic-goes-animated/.
