Interviews
JynX was asked about the copyright of the Len'en Project on Interview with JynX (2015). Their given answer was this:
Since Len'en itself is my way of paying respect to the Touhou Project,
there are no hard restrictions on fanworks, game footage etc.
Basically, what's OK for derivative works of Touhou is OK for derivative works of Len'en, and same thing with what's a no-go.
For further details, please refer to the guidelines for derivative works of Touhou.
( http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Yoyo/1736/t-081.html ), (English translation)
If Len'en fanworks are mindful of the things mentioned in there, then they're fine.
Their games are of course free to download, so to use information, upload images, etc., is presumably allowed. Regarding the endings, JynX was asked about them in Interview with JynX (2017), and they stated this:
I don't intend to ban it, but I'd appreciate it if you would refrain from posting videos of them online.
(Because, if you can, I'd prefer you to play the game and see them that way).
In regards to spoilers, I understand that there may be people who might not want to be spoiled,
so you're also free to consider that, too.
Generally, my official standard is to refrain from discussing things including spoilers until at least 1 month after the game has been released. That's how I'd like to operate from now on.
As such, posting ending dialogues on the wiki is fine as long as they are hidden away to prevent spoilers. However, when it comes to discussions, JynX prefers it if endings were kept secret for the first month after a game's initial full release.
Touhou Project
If by any chance you add Touhou content to this wiki, please see Touhou Wiki:Copyrights provided by ZUN.
