There is a bullet point for the pixel art:

* Over $2500 worth of pixel art (free to use however you like)

But I don't see any concrete licensing statements for the art assets besides that.

I was an early supporter (bought the book in pre-release), but the lack of explicit licensing info on the engine and assets has cooled my interest. Hope this gets addressed.

The engine seems to be MIT licensed: https://github.com/dinodeck/dinodeck/blob/master/LICENSE

The site says that there's over $2500 in assets that come bundled with a permissive license

It says on the page that the assets are custom for the project and have a liberal license, but it doesn't say what the license is in the spot I was reading--I assume MIT.

Hmmmm, assuming anything about licensing kind of makes me nervous. :)

Just emailed the author, to ask directly. Will post the response back here (when received) for reference.

Yep MIT. Email response from the author:
