  1. I beg to differ. There're exceptions to the rule in many countries. In USA, in special, there's the "Fair Use" Doctrine that can be applied to my work. See more about this here. Legally, I'm probably (but granted, not surely) covered by the Fair Use. The restriction to do whatever I want as long is for "my own use" is for reversed engineering and backup copies of the software itself, not for derivative works based on the original (parodies would be copyright violations otherwise!). Yes, law is confusing - and different countries make different confusions about the issue. However, I'm not looking for legal advice. I asking about the community practices. By doing this and promoting my work here, I'm violating some Forum Policy?
  2. Hi. New kid on the block here. I'm cutting my teeth on add-on development, and - as usual - I'm starting from the basics: changing what already exists to see what I get. I ended up with a (perhaps?) nice solution for some complains I had read on the forum, but that solution reused some (edited!) meshes from the Squad's vanilla install, and now I'm unsure if I can redistribute the (edited) material bundled with mine. Looking into the KSP's directory, I found a LegalNotice.txt with many people granting the licensee rights to do whatever is wanted - but of course, each licensor grants the right for his work, and for his work only. But I don't know what resources from Squad's subdirectory was licensed by whom, and of course Squad's copyrighted material is licensed under different terms (or I would not have to buy a KSP copy to legally play it, right?). I'm not worried about retaining ownership of such material - ethically, I think it "belongs to the game" as I'm reusing game's resources, and I don't mind waiving away the rights for the (few) things I had done. But I don't want to cross any line on the forum, so I choose to be safer than sorry. Since I didn't found any solid definitions about the issue, what's is currently accepted as the way to go around here?
  3. Le me know if you need some help on testing. I'm on 1.4.1 (as you probably noticed =P) and I'm interested in your mod! :-)
