Submission Pack Update
It was brought to my attention that I had a logical conundrum occurring between my submissions pack and the copyright information on the Submissions page. Turns out that I accidentally cut and paste the wrong information into my submissions pack documents! Just to summarize, patterns will still be published with the CC license I specify on the Submissions page. Designers are encouraged to distribute the pattern on their own website once the pattern is in archives, but until then to link to Popknits. I ask for this time leeway because 98% of people will look at either:
- the Popknits website.
- the pattern author’s website.
- or Ravelry which will have links to either..
when searching for new patterns. Three months is long enough for the pattern to gain some momentum, be distributed from (or be linked back to) Popknits, and for us to get the traffic we need to survive. Then a new issue is launched and those authors can feel free to distribute the pattern under the same CC license on their website. I hope this clears up any confusion. I think that this arrangement will work best for us all.
