A word on creative copyright and THE CITY

It occured to me that one immediate issue with an idea like THE CITY is that I hope to get the input of lots of people, whilst making the final output myself. This process probably raises the question, who owns this?
I’m hoping we all do, but in realistic terms, what I aim to do, is make sure that everyone takes credit for whatever they do. Original Ideas, Concepts, Sketches, Models and textures, if people go so far, will be highlighted in the case of each structure and that persons input will be retained by them. If people have input that they later withdraw for any reason. I would honour that. If I have trouble getting people to trust me on this, thats fair enough, It’d feel like a kick in the shins for what I see as a “community” project, but people have the right to protect their own investments. If this is deemed as an issue at any point, I will draft an agreement that basically states that whilst this thing is my Idea, everything that anyone puts in remains theres, and we’ll probably have to work on that as we go along. Soon, Submission guidelines.
