You might want to read up on copyright law. It protects the intellectual property, in this case your code. This means they can not steal or reuse your code. Copyright law does NOT prevent someone using engines calls to insert messages into your mod that create or inhibit features. The only way copyright law would be violated in this case is if they distributed your mod with their changes.
To get the level of protection you are talking about requires making it part of the Right to Use agreement. For example when the mod is downloaded or installed have users agree to perform no after market modifications to the mod and that such modifications revoke their right to use the mod. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Beppo Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 2:01 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlcoders] Re: [OT] [OT] "Safe way" of setting weapon damages? Changing features of a mod is actually illegal due to copyright laws and someone would even be able to sue you if they have the time and money to do so. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
