I know the forum rules say that these matters should be handled via PM but as there are so many people involved in the making of GWX I thought a forum post might be more appropriate (and a lot easier).

I think I need not actually apologise as I haven't actually released anything to anyone, but I do ask for permission to do so and offer my assurances that if said permission is not granted, the mod will not be released.

Sincerely,

I will be handling this by PM. In so doing, it will very likely save you a measure of embarassment. If you are using GWX files as your base, as per the sticky up top, permissions are required.

We will not handle permissions in public. If you are in doubt as to who you should ask, you can PM me (I am the GWX project manager for better or for worse... take your pick.) and I will point you in the right direction and/or confer with GWX devs that it may effect, and assist with crediting that you may not be fully aware of. In rare cases, we reserve the right to decline permission.

Impatience or rudeness, will not help the messenger making said inquiries in the slightest. Same hour or next day responses are not guaranteed and silence should NOT be construed as consent. GWX is currently being actively supported and further developed.

I will handle your request/issue as I am able.
