Quote:To explain thoroughly:

While doing research on the model sites, the open3dmodels terms of service state that "...all the resources on Open3dModel are only use for your personal project or educational purposes.", which unfortunately is not acceptable for use in LFS. Personal project is being read as non-public, to learn and tweak the model for your own use.

Retrospectively all other open3dmodel mods have been unpublished as well.

Apologies for your work going to waste. If you manage to find other source, you can try uploading the mod again for review.

Just to make it clear, this is a big problem. If LFS Mods will be spending their time AFTER a mod is approved retrospectively finding reasons to remove that mod then you can count me out of making mods.

Maybe you think this is an OK way to run things, but I personally will not accept it, I won't be messing about with mods any more in LFS. Cheers.

What a waste of time. Who wants to make mods for LFS if after they've approved your mod and tell you it's all legally OK they then spend the next weeks finding excuses to remove your mod whilst you put your time and care into it. Count me out.

I'll leave it at that.

You make LFS liable for any copyright infringement you make in your mods. If you upload a mod that uses a model made by someone else, and it doesn't comply with the license, then it's LFS that gets in trouble for it, not you. It's your own fault that you didn't follow the LFS modding rules by getting the right license for your model.

What you can do is contact the creator of the model and get the correct permissions from the person who made it, then you are okay and submitting that permission along with the mod, it won't get removed. Zdenek is only doing his job by removing your mod.
