What if I edited devamped the sprites and recolored it?
The eula for the rtp says that you can't use said resources in any medium outside of the RM engines you own. And, you can only use say VX rtp in 2k3 if you own both of the engines.

Technically, it will not be legal. Even with edits/recolours/rearrangements. Though I doubt you'll get in to any trouble unless if you sell the construct game you'll make using the assets.

Alright, one sec.

Commercially, it is illegal to do so. The EULA of the RTP states that it's not allowed to be used outside of the RM series, and that to use in an RM that it wasn't packaged with requires you to legally own the other engine in question.


HOWEVER!

There were some RTPs that were sold separately with a license to use outside of the RM series. The cost was a lot higher, but it was a thing (I am not sure if it is still a thing). I do know that there are resource packs sold for RM that have an all-engine license (make sure you purchase the right version if you're going to do that) but again, due to the license they are a bit more costly.

The Samurai pack and perhaps some other Enterbrain products were sold with a higher price tag at one point for non rpg engine use. These are not sold any more to my knowledge.

The High Fantasy Pack is okay because it's made by Pioneer Valley Games and not Enterbrain and its terms of use don't prohibit use outside of RPG Maker. And the website makes it very clear you can use it in any engine you desire.

Make sure to read the terms of use for each product you purchase. Some are locked to RPG Maker and others are not.
