What are the rules for reusing squads art assets?

[Randazzo]

I've poked about the rules that I can find, but I don't see anything regarding use of assets already included in the game. I know some mods use stock textures, is it permissible to use a stock model for a "new" part if I'm not actually redistributing that model, simply calling it up in a part config file? I would be altering it's dimensions, also via the cfg file.

As I understand it referencing Squad assets from config files is fine, I believe several mods do this already.

(I'm not a lawyer, nor am I a Squad employee.)

Pretty sure there was a thread about this about a week ago, actually. You're free to reuse and make derivative works using the assets in the GameData folder. With the power of MM, you don't even need to distribute the files (though if you want to distribute modified models/textures, that's ok too).

Thanks!
