The SpaceX mod from LazTek.

[singh.prd]

I have previously downloaded the SpaceX mod from LazTek and in terms of modelling it is one of the best mods I've ever used! It seems however that development stopped in 0.9 for whatever reason and the thread is now locked. 
 

It seems such a shame to let this mod drift into obscurity as the game progresses? Does anyone know about LazarusLuan or know anything about licences? He is explicit on his thread: " Created by Lazarus Luan (Lazarus). Neither this mod, nor any part of it may be redistributed." I wonder if after quite some time he would allow other developers to take the torch and keep his good work relevant?

I wonder if anyone has any thoughts?

All you can do, is try to reach him directly, and get permission. Beyond that, unfortuntaely, that mod is dead... Dead... as in D-E-D...DEAD...

That license doesn't really have wiggle room. Even if he spontaneously decides to divest himself of all modern technology and live as an eremite in a remote corner of the Canadian wilds for the rest of his life, you still can't redistribute or take over the mod. Only he himself can revoke that limitation.

There are plenty of other newer, better versions of spacex rockets and spacecraft out now anyway that are being actively developed. That was great a while back when it was the only mod but I see no reason to make a big deal over it. Use one of the new ones.

Awesome, thanks raidernick. I had looked but obviously not hard enough. 

I'm defiantly going to get all these! 

 

And yeah, the licence means that the mod is dead. I've never figured why people put restrictive licences on stuff they will never be able to monetise and was made for the community. I'm all for respecting people's, especially modders, wishes though.
