Mod editing etiquette
 

Hi,

I just want to ask . What is the general rules of editing someone's mod.
You see I've upgraded a hack into 3.7.2 and sent it to the developer but he didn't reply. I know he maybe busy but if I contenue like this , it would take me forever to get the job done.

I'm asking this because I may do more upgrades to existing old mods or add features.

Thanks

Sorry I don't really understand your problem...

If you edit a mod you can use it yourself. But you cannot redistribute unless the author has given you permission to do so.

I don't mean that I'll sell it.

I mean I want to publish it on vBulletin.org immediately after I finish editing or upgrading it (Credits for the original developer will of course be given)

As far as I am aware, you need express written permission from the author to be able to do that. He may be working on a mod himself.

You can not release it on vB.org (ie. distribute it) without the permission of the original author.

Ok,

Thank you guys
