someone told her about it and i believe she made it free for the public but she also mentioned how joseph evans does it. I think that’s her reason for continuing.

In a nutshell:
-
As a background/overlay editor, you may share your creations with the community.
However, you are not entitled to receive any donations or payments for your work (via PayPal, Ko-fi, Patreon, anywhere at all). -
Avoid putting visibly large watermarks on your work.
If you do so, it counts as copyrighted material, which will not be approved. -
You may not upload/use any of Episode’s hidden backgrounds or overlays.
Again, because of copyright.

Your last part is incorrect. You can draw the same clothes but they have to be in your own artistic style. Copyright only covers the actual image, not the idea. For example there is a Red Tank asset on Episode, however it is perfectly legal for me to draw a red tank top on a character in an art scene that is in my own artistic style. You just can’t copy the assets identically.

To be fair, I believe I’ve seen this floating around on IG and it’s a completely tappable menu where all the options open out so there’s definitely a lot of work behind it.
Of course, it’s wrong to charge for it but it’s not just a simple CC template.

I am not incorrect but thank you for your contribution.
Just an overlay…
