[^1]: This means whether an asset can be successfully loaded inside a game server and for what reason. It does not necessarily mean the game’s creator has permission to use it.
[^2]: This is just my conjecture. It’s not legal advice. Also, this only applies if the asset is made copyable or put on the market.
[^3]: As an exception, anything created by Roblox’s account can be loaded regardless of ownership.
[^4]: Because groups don’t have inventories and can’t own assets created by others, it’s impossible to allow these third-party assets to load into its group games. They must be copied.
[^5]: If a place is made copyable, it can be used to make another game. However, if game access is being sold for a fee, then it’s end-user. It cannot be downloaded even if the place exists in the buyer’s inventory.
[^6]: This is a Roblox Studio beta feature, and it doesn’t seem to use the standard asset ownership system.
