Interested in a Homeworld Mod?

Too many people were standing around with their heads in the sand thinking that it would cover their ***. The real world doesn't operate that way.

Thats a load of hogwash. What's next, going to go report the lot of us to Infogrames/Atari (or whoever it is that owns the ashes of Microprose these days) over 8+ year old images in the Image Mod? Who the hell cares? Seriously... Let people have their fun. It was no loss to anyone.

What did you think would happen? What corporate lawyer has ever said, "sure, go ahead and let people use our "property" freely and publically?" That's right, none of them.

Come on guys. Be nice. You know that we are seeing representatives of both the "been around awhile" crowd and the "rules dont affect me yet" group. Check out the age thread and then take some of this stuff with a grain of salt.

Having said that..
there are many examples of "go ahead and use that" from the corporate world. It usually comes with rules like "be sure and say where its from" and "do not sell what you make with it" and "dont make us look bad".

So its not wasted effort to ask. And since it is the way its supposed to be done, it is a good suggestion if anyone likes the guy making the mod. Now if the author of the mod wants to ignore that then thats his decision but it would not be a good idea for anyone to suggest that he not at least make an effort at CYA
