Authors are free to release their work under any licence they choose, so long as it does not monetize, prevent us from promoting, or prevent us distributing the content among our members. In fact, within the network, we pride ourselves on respecting authors rights and hold uploaders accountable for adhering to posted usage terms. Licence information can be posted for users in the "Permissions" file attribute page as well as the file's description page. The Nexus views hosting a mod as a privilege and authors are free to post their work wherever they see fit! Personally, I feel that the more avenues available for mod authors, the better. Curse does a commendable job and we're happy to support the KSP community alongside them. We're indeed working with pjf to see how we can incorporate Nexus download links into the CKAN UI, but I cannot guarantee inclusion at this time. Things are still in the planning phases on this as there are some inherit differences in our services that we're trying to reconcile. Nexus Mod Manager integration however, can be implemented quite rapidly if we can get more authors to upload their work. The general consensus is around 50 mods justifies NMM That sounds great, thank you Azimech! Please let me know if I can assist in any way. Looking forward to seeing your work! Agreed, and thank you for your hospitality, Jadedcat. Nice to meet you! Sorry you feel that way Elthy. Thank you for the colorful verbiage. I assure you that we do not "track" anyone over "half the internet". However, should you choose not to use our service for whatever reason, I respect that and hope you have a good day.

Hi everyone. As you may know, the KSP Nexus Site has been operational for some time, but given the recent developments in the modding community regarding Kerbal Stuff and as a fan of KSP, I've been looking into how the Nexus can better support the KSP community. We're looking forward to adding KSP functionality to the Nexus Mod Manager and this can be done in relatively short-order. However, we cannot justify doing so until we have a reasonable stable of files on the network. We're also working with pjf, the author of CKAN, to investigate a collaboration in order to provide easy downloads from the Nexus within CKAN, but again this will be fruitless without more KSP mods on the Nexus. We're keen to work with mod authors to ensure that we are providing the tools that the KSP community needs, but to put things bluntly, we need the support of more KSP mod authors if we are to justify implementation of KSP specific features to our services. The Nexus has been building a network to support mod authors since 2001. Registration is of course free, providing access to our file repositories and forums. We are supported in-part by ads because when you're serving 2 Petabytes of data a month, pushing upwards of 10Gbps in bandwidth, asking for donations just doesn't cut it. However, our supporters can enjoy an ad-free experience for a one-time payment of a couple of dollars. Uploading a file is a fairly simple process that will provide several features for user interaction like commenting and bug tracking. Members can enjoy an established infrastructure that already supports over 100,000 files from over 50,000 fellow mod authors. Couldn't we just arbitrarily upload the mods from the Kerbal Stuff torrent to our site? Sure, but the Nexus has a long record of respecting the work of mod authors and we encourage accountability within the network, which includes refraining from uploading content without permission. By uploading your work to the Nexus, you will help ensure that we establish an accessible and perpetual repository of mods for the KSP community. Don't get me wrong. I'm excited to see developments based on Kerbal Stuff's source, though again, as a fan I feel it's my duty to offer what services I can to ensure the health of the KSP modding community and will do my best to accommodate your needs. Please, take a look around and feel free to upload any of your creations using the "Files" button at the top of the site: http://nexusmods.com/kerbalspaceprogram. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know. I can also be reached as SirSalami on the Nexus forums and Steam, or email me at dave@nexusmods.com. Thank you sincerely, for your consideration. Dave "SirSalami" Talamas Community Manager, Nexus Mods
