License queston

[Shurikeeen]

I made this mod (cfg file) what changes some of the interior prop placement in the cockpits. It uses some of the props from RPM mod, B9 and ALCOR props pack. ALCOR and B9 has this licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/) what says im free to redistribute. RPM has GPLv3 what also allows redistributing. So, can I include these mods in my download? I want to license my mod but not these other mods. Also, could I only put the folders from B9 what you need to get my mod working? Just making sure.

Sounds like you are doing the same thing this, person just list what you need and then just have the CFG files http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/96148-AeroKerbin-Industries-Modified-IVAs.

If you redistribute them, you will need to put the licenses that the mods have used. You need to put with your mod, the licenses CC by-nc-na for ALCOR & B9 and GPLv3 for RPM.

But, as MeCripp said, a better thing is to post your mod with your license and to send your users to download each mod separately with the official links. With that, you doesn't need to update your mod each time that ALCOR, B9 or RPM will be updated.

And, if you always want to add these mods, I suggest you to contact each dev team that work on those mods, to know their point of view on this subject.

It is indeed generally best practice not to bundle, but rather to state your mod requires other mods. This way you don't have to worry (and, importantly the other mods' authors don't have to worry!) about you shipping out-of-date versions.
