When you redistribute derivative works of these robots, you must get a permission from the creators of the respective works.

For example:

- Photo collections and video works featuring Stack-chan robots

On the other hand, if you use data from this repository to create something that is not Stack-chan, it is not eligible.
The following usages are not eligible:

Since the data is distributed under an [open source license](./LICENSE), please follow the terms of the license.

## Compliance/Prohibitions.
