very logical. Though I still wouldn’t want to ste on somepony’s hooves out of courtesy. I like to make sure I’m not going to piss anyone off before doing something :3

Legally the only way to make a “closed species” is to patent it, you can’t copyright ideas. Most “closed species” are not backed up with any enforceable law and can therefore be used freely* without permission from the creator. This is why, for instance, there are so many of Tolkien’s creations running around in the fantasy genre despite how infamously litigious the Tolkien estate is.
*The name of the species may be under trademark, and so you would need to call it something else. You see this, too, all the time with Tolkien’s creatures- they are frequently given a different name when used.

yeah I’m not a super fan of that being a thing hehe like I’d prefer people being able to just explore and enjoy a species rather than having to get someone’s permission just to draw it at all.
