Would anyone mind if I make my MSTS Conversions Public?

[orangeengine69]

Ever since 2995valliant reached out to me on discord a day ago
And I rediscovering my phrase "Giving more people access to your models, is only a good thing"
I've been wondering. Should I release my MSTS Conversions to the Wider Trainz Community?
For the longest time I've avoided doing that for obvious reasons (copyright)
However, after Mr. Valliant. a Trainz Veteran. Reached out to me, my mind shifted a bit.

So I want to ask everyone here;
A. Should I make my MSTS Conversions Public? (i.e. uploading them to the DLS or dropping their Google Drive/MediaFire links here)
Or
B. Should I keep them Private and keep release them on discord like always?

The current model I have converted and release are as follows;

LNER Gresley V4:

LNWR Express Engines pack 2:

Metropolitan E class:

MSTS/KUJU Flying Scotsman: (Ripped straight from the MSTS program file

DSB P 906:

The Official Decapod. (Paul Gausden) Bluebell:

From the now defunct UKTrainSim

I cloned the P class number 27 and dropped Bluebell's textures in.

And... That's all for models that I've completed and released on discord (as of typing)

How would the copyright issue have changed since the originals first appeared on MSTS?

Knowing what "Mr Valliant" said would help (but there is no user with that name registered on Trainz).

I thnk you'd have to reach out to Microsoft instead of us.

For all default MSTS, you need to contact Kuju for permission. It would be highly unlikely they would ever give anyone permission
All other 3rd party add-ons for MSTS! You must contact the authors of the models for permission. The the add-ons readme file

Want to follow the law? Don't release them.
Want to break the law and as a bonus get banned right away? Go and release them.

As long as it hasn't been 75 years ago, I think this could have been the shortest topic ever.

Locked as there really isn't much to discuss other than "do I want to do something illegal or not".

Edit:
After locking this topic, I was contacted by 2995Valliant. I totally can see how the above might result in people thinking it was his suggestion to make the above MSTS content public, yet that was not his intend.

I'd like to some make it clear publically that all I did was offer to make an enginespec, having not seen the loco an being unaware of its origins.

I hope this clears up any possible misunderstandings.
