Secure

The Foundation secures anomalies with the goal of preventing them from falling into the hands of civilian or rival agencies, through extensive observation and surveillance and by acting to intercept such anomalies at the earliest opportunity.

Contain

The Foundation contains anomalies with the goal of preventing their influence or effects from spreading, by either relocating, concealing, or dismantling such anomalies or by suppressing or preventing public dissemination of knowledge thereof.

Protect

The Foundation protects humanity from the effects of such anomalies as well as the anomalies themselves until such time that they are either fully understood or new theories of science can be devised based on their properties and behavior. The Foundation may also neutralize or destroy anomalies as an option of last resort, if they are determined to be too dangerous to be contained.

A24’s reputation is on the line with the SCP Foundation movie (www.theverge.com)

A24 made several serious missteps following the release of Backrooms, angering fans by filing copyright claims against other Backrooms creators, before withdrawing them after director Kane Parsons intervened. So, A24 and its partners at Image Nation Studios and Spooky Pictures have been eager to clarify that they are not asserting exclusive rights to the SCP universe. A24 declined to comment, but Monique Levine, a spokesperson for Image Nation and Spooky, told The Verge that “A24’s worldwide rights pertain to the specific film project being produced.”

The problem is, under the license used by the SCP Foundation, nobody can claim exclusive rights to any SCP material. Creative Commons’ CEO Anna Tumadóttir told The Verge that, “Anyone can use works available under Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license, even commercially,”

I mean… A24 can say whatever they want. The fact remains that the art they are producing is derivative of prior art, and that prior art has an intentionally very broad license that also applies to derivative art (and, you know, basically the entirety of the SCP article catalogue is derivative art in the first place). I don’t expect this would hold up well for A24’s lawyers if they actually try to go after people again.
