Fair play and Business

[BirdOPrey5]

First- My personal belief is I don't find this a big deal. I personally tend not to use mods that display copyrights as I've never put any in my mods. Even ones that have their own pages.

But that said, if DragonByte was interested, as nhawk pointed out they are already reading a data file regularly for updates.

Just create and maintain a second data file. In it is only a list of THIS_SCRIPT values. Rather than trying to keep up to date with the THIS_SCRIPT values of other coders mods to disable, they could just maintain a list of THIS_SCRIPT values on which to enable their copyright.

So basically just a comma or new line separated list of THIS_SCRIPT values for every dbtech mod. When new mods are released the list gets updated.

Then once a day on a scheduled task the list gets updated to the local database of each forum with the combined copyright mod installed. The initial collection of THIS_SCRIPT values would take a little time but maintaining it should not be hard.
