This UBISOFT/ownership/rules debate is pointless. There are no rules here other than those that we choose to impose on ourselves. I could release the mod and there'd be nothing that anyone on the GWX team could do to stop me, and we all know it, so debating the "rules" serves no purpose. The reasons I'm not releasing the mod are dignity and self-respect; some (perhaps many) people here would think less of me if I did release it.

I challenge any modder here to deny that they take pride in their work and that that pride swells when other people like and enjoy their work. If that pride has to be swallowed in order to get the mod released then the point of releasing the mod is (for the modder) destroyed.

Therefore, to make this mod releasable I'd need to rework the images I've made, all of which used GWX tga's as a base (and get permission from JonZ and FLB Sale to use their images as well). That would be quite a bit of work, and to face after that the prospect of all the rework that (according to Kpt. L) will be required to make it compatible with 1.04, I'm not sure it's worth it. To be honest, the witholding of that infortmation (the compatibility with 1.04) despite my prior requests for it has infuriated me far more than anything else, because its simply spiteful, and I'm quite shocked that not one member of the GWX team bothered to have the decency to inform me. You'd think that even the most rotten tree would have a good apple on it somewhere...
