Modding Ethic/Courtesy Rules (Agreed)

DATE AND VERSION NUMBERS FOR YOUR MOD


many mods last over time so knowing how old it is or what the version number is will help in guiding those looking for mods to use.

i would also recommend listing the game version the mod was intended for.

let it be known if it works for NYGM or GWX or RUB etc.

Yes, I think this is imperative.

When it comes to works with ambiguity as to the future use of the mod by others, I feel that if a modder has released his work into the public domain, has not qualified its use, and cannot be reached then he was forfeited his right to control it since he has not demonstrated his wishes.

I think that its in the best interests of the free flow of ideas within the community that the above be adopted. Its like if you find a wad of cash on the street and turn it in to the police. If nobody claims it then you have every right to take it yourself. So if the modder in question hasn't qualified the nature of his work's availibility to others then we should assume it is public domain, once all reasonable means of communication with the modder in question have been exhausted.

That I feel is in the best interests of the community and creative development.

But I'm not a modder thats released anything so I'm not sure if my views are valid. Mostly I'm speaking from a pinko-commie, social democrat perspective.
