Question... Do I need permission from the author of a hack to translate the phrases?

eXtremeTim · #2 11-30-2005, 03:37 PM

Yes if you will be redistributing the hack with the phrases.

It depends on the hack authors rules regarding their hacks.

I don't redistribute the hack, and in the toppost there is no rules about translating the phrases.

I just use the hack for my own board

You only need to ask the author for permission if you plan to give the hack away to anyone or redistribute it.

You are allowed to do with it as youw ant for your own site.

IF IT IS ONLY FOR YOUR WEBSITE AND YOU WILL NEVER GIVE IT OUT, THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK PERMISSION.

I won't say it again.

You are fine.

It is easy for some people to take what you said as a request for you to edit his hack and give it out in dutch. He may not of thought what you were asking.

Even though I am not him, I think it is appropriate for the situation.
If a person cannot perform a simple logical truth from a statement, then they require it to be said explicitly. So here:

"IF IT IS ONLY FOR YOUR WEBSITE AND YOU WILL NEVER GIVE IT OUT, THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO ASK PERMISSION."
==
"IF IT IS NOT FOR YOUR WEBSITER ONLY AND YOU WILL GIVE IT OUT, THEN YOU DO NEED TO ASK PERMISSION."
==>
Gotta specify which one it is, Harry.

There is no point is using 3rd party to solve simple issues, because the "coder" has communication skills of his own. You never said whether you are going to redistribute it or not. Imagine you released a book, and someone said "hey, I am making my own edited version of your book". Period. No details/conditions, nor anything. How would you feel?

but redistribute it

I wouldn't use the word "but". I would use "except for". Just so that there be no misunderstanding.
