I think there are lots of people who would like to think of it as being that simple... when really all that is expected is common courtesy.
Ask before you take... and recognize the creator(s).
Some may like to attach a nefarious "agenda" to discussions like these... but I will point out that SH3 was full of problems before modders went to work on it... without an SDK.
It isn't too much to ask... to leave that evidence in print with an attached readme.
Drama? No I think not... I do think the only ones screaming "foul" the loudest may have the most to hide.
If you can mod... you can take the time for the courtesy of asking permission to modify another's work if you intend to change and re-distribute it.
