All the sources cited saying the content was created by users of 4chan, but none of them specify which license the design is under. In truth, the character and all art handed to The Fine Young Capitalists are under public domain. They themselves can, and have on multiple occasions, confirmed this. http://thefineyoungcapitalists.tumblr.com/post/97940134830/

Claims that the character was created for the sake of being a logo for the board /v/ are also false. It was created by users, and is, in way, a self-image portraying the community as a whole, but there has never been any intention of the character becoming the logo of the board. The purpose of the design was to be included in the game created by TFYC, nothing more.

4chan as a company also does not claim copyright ownership to any content created by its users.

Therefore, neither the character depicted, nor the art in this file are copyrighted content.

Image is not copyrighted, it's not property of the 4chan, LLC company edit

It was made by a random user of 4chan, not 4chan, LLC themselves as a company, it's not copyrighted as none of the rage faces memes such as "Troll face" are copyrighted We should in any case contact TFYC and ask them for permission, but as it it isn't even a TFYC character, but a sketch of an user not associated with them for a future character that might not even look like that Loganmac (talk) 13:48, 20 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ahh, it says "Members of 4chan", so I'll just change this to open use. True Kindness (talk) 05:20, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
