If the question is "can I use your work", the answer is probably yes. I reserve no rights when it comes to my own copyrights.

Free to use without credit / CC0 No Rights Reserved

More detailed explanation

I am a fan of remix culture. I don't think of myself as a copyright holder. So it follows that everything I make is public domain (CC0). Anything else would just be me holding copyrights. The exceptions are if I contributed to a differently licensed project or did work for someone else. If I create a derivative work, then it may contain copyrights of someone else. I try to credit my inspirations when I can.

It's considered polite to credit, but I'm not going to legally force you to credit me. I will probably point it out though if I think it's important. I recommend crediting me if people would otherwise assume you made my thing, since otherwise that could be plagiarism.

This also applies to my music. Bandcamp only lets me set my music to "some rights reserved", and it says you need to credit me, but I don't really care.

You using my work does not necessarily mean that I agree with you or support your remix's messages.

My philosophy

For if you want to understand my thinking better. I don't want this page to be a "convince you to be strictly anti-copyright" page, just stating my position. I understand that some creatives find copyright to be beneficial, but I overall have a lot of problems with it.
