I can't speak for anyone else, but for myself I don't consider you opinion as a lone one. I don't agree with all you have said, more specifically the wording, but I do agree with what I consider to be the "meaning": that the .exe should not be distributed (modded or not).
I understand your use of 'vandalizm' but don't agree with it. At least by a legal definition there MUST BE malice involved on the part of the perpetrator and I feel there was not. I could go with copyright infringement or something along those lines. But to be considered vandalizm there must be intent and malice. I don't believe he intented to do any harm (He may do harm by messing with the .exe but the harm was not intended, therefore no vandalizm) , and I don't feel there was malice.
Using the paint the house example: It's could be possible to damage your home with a coat of paint by filling the pores in the wood with paint and then a 'stain' could not be properly applied even after stripping the paint off. So damage was done, he would be liable for the damage. But I don't think the charge would be vandalizm since there was no intent to do harm, and no malice involved. If he painted purple bunnies all over the house that would make it a totally different story.
I totally agree with you about not distributing the .exe. I also agree with Mikhayl "Let's wait and see what UBI says". In fact every single thing we do in here is violating the license agreement. They include a mission editor but if you use it and distribute the missions, it violates the agreement. So we can do what UBI allows us to do. And I think the distribution of the .exe has stepped over the line, but it's not my decision to make, nor, with all due respect is it anyone elses other than UBI.
You comment his "MOD/Hack" violates 2/3rds of what "is not permitted". Our Japanese Campaign will violate all them, without ever touching the .exe.
