Neon sticks it to A24 by announcing a Creative Commons SCP Foundation movie
A24 pissed off one of the internet's largest horror communities when it announced it was working on an SCP Foundation film, but apparently hadn't bothered to contact the SCP Wiki team, nor did it commit to releasing it under a Creative Commons license as required.

A24 had announced it was working on a film based on the SCP Foundation, a large internet-based horror and sci-fi universe. However, the announcement upset the SCP Wiki team, as A24 had not contacted them and had not committed to releasing the film under a Creative Commons license.
Neon has now announced that it is making its own SCP movie. Unlike A24, Neon reached out to the SCP Foundation Wiki team and has pledged to release the film under the Creative Commons ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) license. According to The Verge, this film is not an official SCP film and none of the wiki's staff is involved in the writing or production.
The SCP Foundation is a large fan-built universe that has gained a significant following online. A24's initial announcement had sparked controversy, with Deadline reporting that it had "ruffled feathers" within hours of being made.
