Re: Crediting Inactive Users and Modders
During my 'tenure' I have had the following stand:
1. graphics and models - permissions are a must to use material. Which means you will have to make your own stuff and sufficiently different if you do not get permission.
2. code and script - this is about bragging rights as there simply is no way to 'copyright' this matter. Plagiarizing (passing someone's idea off as your own) is a fast way to get very unpopular, so take care to credit the original idea when you are (made) aware of it.
