Copyrights on mods

[Alestone]

The server falls under French law, but the copyrights of individual creators falls under the country where they claim citizenship.

Copyright law is applied through the residence of the creator, then through the treaties between nations. As a result, the application of French law is secondary to the law of the nation that the creator of the content resides in.

This being the case, unless the creator completely relinquishes their rights to Discovery, they remain the owner. Therefore, the use of their material on the server is a matter of licensing. That license may be nothing more than an agreement of use, or may be more convoluted, but it does not abrogate the creator's rights under the law of the country where they claim citizenship.
