Re: Is it okay...
That comes up often. Just to speed this up, a back and forth conversation usually brings it down to both people being abit correct. "you wont have to worry" usually refers to "they wont come after you" unless you make money on it. And yes, it is illegal to use part of someone elses works in your own wether you make money or not.
ByTheWay, the "you dont have to worry" isnt always true either. Its based on the idea that there is nothing to sue for but I have seen actions taken against people for reasons other than money.
In any case, an important factor HERE is that if you use another game as part of a map or mod then you need permission from the original company or it cannot be posted or linked to on forums owned by Shrapnel. We have had some. And they did ask. You might be surprised to find that we are now slightly over 50% on them getting permission.
