vReportBoard Mod

hhy89,

I noticed that you have produced an updated version of the mod.

With apologies, I must ask you to remove your attachment.
Unfortunately, the mod's original author did not grant any license (permission) for others to modify and re-distribute his code.

I understand that you did this in good faith, as a service to the SMF community, in the same way that the original author distributed his mod.

I would suggest that it might be acceptable to post instructions for modifying the mod's code, rather than publishing the "finished product".

I am sorry that this is necessary. Because the author did not provide any licensing statement at all, he did not provide any permission for others to re-use, modify, and redistribute his code. We will honor the original author's copyright.  If he wishes to grant permission to others to modify and re-distribute, the original author may publish a new version of the code with a new copyright notice, perhaps choosing one of the many open-source copyright licenses already available.

Again, my apologies.

Edit:

A member of the SMF team has removed that attachment. Our apologies.  I hope you can understand why it was necessary.
Please contact the mod author for permission to distribute an altered version of the mod.
Thank You.
