If its copyrighted, you should respect that copyright, it is the LAW. Just because you have seen other mods with a "twist", doesn't mean they are doing it illegally. If you obtain permission, it is not illegal.
Well, here's the skinny on that. If it's copyrighted, it must specifically state somewhere on the install notes, the mod home or the mod itself. Which it doesn't. Therefore this is an open ended project.
There's two forms of respect in regard to the mod and making adjustments.
1. The individual or individuals who kindly create the mod, support and provide adjustment notes. Of which this mod has never been supported and no such support has ever been offered from anybody else for that matter. The mod, (which is a very good one at that) sits and goes unattended because nobody knows if he/they are going to continue on the project. It's been over a year and there is no movement.
2. Someone or some people step up and take the reigns to continue the project noting this is not their mod, instead it is a continuance of an existing mode already in production but stalled.
Summary, he may have his name associated with it, but he doesn't own it.
