Mousemade sounds silly to me. Is there content out there that isn't mousemade, that isn't hand crafted?
Mousemade is in contrast to handmade. We're like Etsy, but of digital content.
You could also have 'LAN-crafted'

Re: Colourlovers (YC W10) launches Creative Market
#22I'm a huge colourlovers fan, so I knew I had to check out your creative market. Congrats... the site looks great!
I just went to buy a font for use in an iPhone app, which in part allows for people to type messages in various fonts. All the fonts I liked had "simple" licenses that seemed to prevent that sort of usage.
Are you guys going to have more fonts with non-simple licenses, to be a bit more mobile-app dev friendly? If you were, I would buy hundreds of dollars worth of fonts from you! It is not easy to find great fonts with a mobile-friendly license.

You're saying the license didn't permit the font to be distributed in the app right?
So you're asking that they include some sort of [re]distribution license?
Yes that would be nice to be able to purchase fonts with license add-ons.
[ ] Usage $10
[✓] Distribution $100
[ ] Resale $1000Re: Colourlovers (YC W10) launches Creative Market

Yah, exactly: a redistribution/resell license. This is from the FAQ:
"Every product sold on Creative Market comes with our SimpleLicense. This license allows your customers to use your product in personal or commercial projects, but does not grant the right to redistribute or resell your product, whether modified, unmodified, or as part of a new work."

Ok, this is confusing. IF the license allows you to use the font in a commercial product, how does it then not allow you to redistribute or sell the same product? Isn't the selling / redistribution part what makes a product commercial in the first place?
Re: Colourlovers (YC W10) launches Creative Market
#26Beautiful site. Looks (and works) really well on an iPad. And it looks like you've got some great content on there already. A question, because I'm curious: Seems like there are several marketplaces online for stuff like this (mostly the Envato universe of stuff - themeforest, etc.) What's the motivation for building this? Not knocking the project - I dig it. But I'm curious what specifically you guys feel is missing…
First, we've been in the design space for several years. COLOURlovers.com is our property and we've been building apps & services for creatives for a while. In the process of being designers, hackers and builders of web things... We've been customers of other design good marketplaces. So what we're doing is trying to address problems with those marketplaces & do something big and new. But first, the genesis for the i…
That's terrific - thank you! I didn't realize the restrictions and dollars-and-cents of the other marketplaces, so that makes sense. And I also didn't realize this was born from CL.

What we're trying to do with our SimpleLicense is to not create one license that covers all usage scenarios, but cover most of them in one license... and then we will be adding others for things like resale & distribution. So yes, give us some time. :)

Yeah, thanks for the inspiration to write the answer, I think I'll put this in a blog post on CM soon. We want to tell the story of CM AND CL, but are trying not to confuse our story by saying too much at once.

#30So will this always be invite only or will it be opened to the public eventually?
The marketplace is open to the public for buyers, we're gating sellers right now just to have a bit more control during launch and make sure all bugs are flushed out on the payments side of things... and then yes, it will be totally open.
