Webcomic author David Revoy, who publishes Pepper&Carrot under CC BY and MiniFantasyTheater under CC BY-SA and draws everything with free and open source software, added an AI-derivation prohibition on top of his Creative Commons licenses, writing that the licenses lack an option to bar AI-generated derivatives and that he now receives more than three permission requests a day from studios, publishers and game developers wanting to build AI works on his characters, lore and stories. His statement prohibits derivatives in which AI generates or substantially replaces the ideas, creative process or visual rendering, including AI-written fan fiction and scripts, AI-generated comics and renders, and AI-graphics games or interactive comics, and it extends a no-AI contribution policy already in place on the Pepper&Carrot repositories since March 2026. He says he will assert the moral rights European law gives him, publish an AI-derivation-prohibited notice alongside the Creative Commons terms and backport it to older works, while tolerating software that contains AI-assisted code, AI grammar and proofreading tools, and human-directed translation.
