Copyrights on mods

[jammi]

When people talk about copyright on mods, it's usually less in terms of legality and more in terms of displaying common decency to the authors / not being blacklisted from the relevant communities for plagiarism.

I'd recommend trying to contact the relevant mod authors and asking for permission to rehost their work. If you've taken reasonable steps and they're no longer able to be contacted (left the original communities where they produced the work), it'd probably be fine to rehost it provided to give explicit credit to the original author.

If still in doubt, make a thread on The Starport.
