State that commercial use is allowed and encouraged under the Free Art License, noting that remuneration for immaterial works is typically indirect. Explain that modification (transformation) is inherent to the license, but the artist retains moral rights to object to distortions 'prejudicial to his honor or reputation' and can request removal of their name from such versions. Clarify that FAL-licensed work can be included in a larger set not under FAL, provided the FAL work itself remains under FAL and its source is accessible. Also, state that if a new original work is created by mixing FAL and non-FAL elements, the new work must be under FAL. List the types of works best suited for the Free Art License, such as visual arts, music, literature, and digital creations, emphasizing works where sharing, transformation, and free distribution are desired.
