Hello.

I am looking for a program to animate a short video to participate in a contest about geocaching.  
Synfig sounds like what I am looking for, but I have a question about the licences of videos created with it:

Am I allowed to publish them and participate in a contest that might give me a free Premium membership for a website?

I don’t have much knowledge about licences, and I was especcially confused because the licences have been updated a few times(?) as far as I understand it with English being only my second language.

I hope that you can understand my problem in understanding the licences, I just thought it’s better to be save than sorry

Thank you in advance,  
Miranda

Hi Miranda,  
here is a link to a topic where I already answered such a question [Commercially using animations](https://forums.synfig.org/t/commercially-using-animations/4296/1)  
In a few words, don’t worry about copyright with Synfig, it is only a matter of Source Code 😉
