adelaide flexity

Hang in there, since there are already re-skins out there, thats a good sign that there would not normally be a problem with permissions.
 
The file says it's freeware .
That generally means it is free to ues
Some content creatores seam to have missed / ignored that
You have taken resionable steps to contact creator

I think you have done your bit and if you wish to put it somewhere do so.


Mr Wesex said about how his stuff was on the DLS and he still had full ownership, He should read Aurans fine print on uploaded content....
Having said that the DSL is where all content should be. If it was that way how much easier downloading things would be

I think the fine print only relates to how Auran redistribute the content, not other users. Other users are free to modify content how they wish for personal use. Redistributing for the general public or profiteering for any other reason is genreally frowned upon.

You may want to look at this item in the page above:

"
Warranties
You warrant to Auran and its Representatives and Related Entities that the New Works that you upload to the Auran Download Station:
(b) do not infringe any copyright, patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights of any person; "

It however, doesn't say about what you own and statements previously put by Lance Jago mentions that the IPR belong to the author, not auran.

EDIT: I found this, but it does not mention anything about intellectual property again. http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=84
This probably means that we are all bound to copyright law until auran changes their EULA.

I know some creators have a massive problem with that and they can ask for the content to be removed. It has happened before.

To be honest, what is the problem with asking a creator what the situation is? After all, they write the EULA (hence why there is probably nothing in most scenarios as most creators don't bother with the EULA), they make the content, you just use it.

If anyone wants to see the position of my content, there is a statement on my site clarifying the position.

i also read this
For those modders and reskinners wondering about the status of my content, I genernally work on 99% of my objects, as freeware and open for editing by anyone. I have very little restriction on my content. This means that you may legally use my content in any way that you see fit for the purpose and distribute it any way you feel free to. I generally have a few rules and I would be greatful if you could follow them:
  • Please tell me what you have done to my object.
  • Please tell me where you have put the updates.
  • Please also provide me with a copy for archive purposes. (contact link is on this site)
In addition to archiving, I will be actively seeking to also add reskins to my objects, in beta or in release. I do this to keep everything in one place and everyone knows where to find the link to a reskin of my object. If you do not want me to host a link to your work that is based on my work, please do say so when you pass me the copy for archiving.
