Rules Regarding The Distribution Of Files In The SW Forum...

Posted: Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:44 pm

Greetings,

This subject needs to addressed, and clarified, as the line is starting to get a little blurred on the legalities.

You may freely post and distribute:

1. Any model, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file that you have created yourself. It's your property. You can do what you wish with it.

2. Any model, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file where the creator of the file specifically provides written licensing permission that authorizes such distribution.

3. Any rework, rewrite, remix of a model, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file sanctioned and released by Silent Walk.

You may never post and distribute:

1. Any model, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file that is ripped from a commercial game title.

2. Any model, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file found online without a licensing permission that authorizes such distribution. As the files are authorized for use with specific game engines, this includes fan game sites.

3. Any link to models, script, sound file, graphic, or texture file offered at a DL site, without a licensing permission that authorizes such distribution.

4. Any link to a warez or torrent site.

Thanks,

Seth Black
