Under what separate licence terms are Pepper&Carrot's text, artwork, repository content and Krita source files published, and how does the author's 2026 'AI derivation prohibited' statement relate to them?
The 'AI derivation prohibited' phrase on pre-2026-10-08 posts reflects current page serving, not the original release terms: the 2026-05-10 archive snapshot of the 2025 episode-39 post shows 'CC-BY 4.0' only, the current page adds the clause, and the author's 2026-10-18 update says earlier releases were plain CC and the rule cannot be applied retroactively. About page and webcomics README (5142add5) state CC BY 4.0 (MiniFantasyTheater CC BY-SA 4.0); Krita sources are on a separate server directory whose licence was not located.
