Default Not Supported = Abandoned

maybe its just me but i feel if a hack (mod) is selected as not supported it should really be free for someone else to pick up where it was left off, giving props to the original creator pf course

seems like such a waste to have a great idea be stuck at an earlier version of vb cuz the original creator either cant or wont update it

i mean we do allow addon mods

You run into the copyright issue with that.

and what about "abandonware" ?!... someone who stop supporting his work would fall into it, isn't it?!

Not Support is not the same as abandoning the mod. And, it would be against copyright laws.

that was debated before, anyway... if the coder is not tagging his release as abandonned, nothing can be done.

but it would be just good to have that process... if someone abandon a hack, someone else can become the new supporter of it when possible... it's done privately in the Coders forum, but few are sharing...

Contributors can mark their code as "Reusable Code" which means it can be taken up by someone else and umm.. Reused. Should look for that instead of whether it is supported or not.

a FAQ page available for possible versions of licenses for vb.org would be good, so we can tag the releases the right way...

Until/unless the author oks it, it is copyrighted to them. Jelsoft doesn't have any claim on it.

Then you will get a lot less hacks/modifications posted here. If a mod was that 'popular' then I'm sure someone would take over it. If it is less popular, and you're not a coder, then you can always make a post in the Modfication requests (unpaid) or request for paid services forum.
