It is not BS, it is a legal fact. Like I said it is not about being right it is about having the right. The legal right.

What you fail to realize, face, recognize, admit to etc is Ubisoft owns the copyright to all these files. When one is altered or modified that file still belongs to Ubisoft.
It does not belong to the mod maker of it.
So, when Ubisoft gave X-1 permission to make an add on to SH3 they had legal right to utilize the files copyrighted by Ubisoft.

My stating this legal fact has been taken to mean I endorse them doing so. I am not making any judgment as it seems some common courtesy would have gone a long way to preventing discord but I was never involved with or contacted in any way by X-1.
I provided historical data to Combat Planes and beta tested and reported to them only, I was not compensated a single dime. Those facts are ignored and innuendo in the form of random conjecture are then considered fact.

Any opinions made by me, and that is all they are, are not endorsed or approved by Combat Planes and are made of my own accord. If you think attacking me to vent helps your ego, well than perhaps it is well served. If you think I care, you have me confused with someone that gives a Scheise!

What I meant above was hassling Ubisoft might provide and opposite result as it did with Combat Flight Simulator 3 which we so complained about that they cancelled CFS4 when it was more than half done. They then released consol games like “Heroes of the Pacific”. If you think that is impossible for SH series, well I hope you are right.

While I have no reason other than a fear of possibility, I was merely stating we could push UBI into wanting to avoid being bothered by marginally profitable games if we make more of this than we have.
I am not saying it would be honest people doing it. Honesty, fairness etc have nothing to do with the legality.
I am saying we must realize they have the legal right to do as they wish with their copyrighted material and we have no legal right nor do those that modify Ubisoft copyrighted material.

It is not BS. It is Copyright laws and your denying it changes nothing. It seems many prefer to be in denial than face reality.

If someone writes a book, a copyrighted one, do they own the words in it?
