To keep things simplified, I have added an exception to the dictatorship...er, Mod Policy...in regard to the parts section at DRS.
---
The model usage policy does not apply entirely here. All kitbash parts posted on this page are free to do with as you wish on the conditions that I am credited properly, the part readme files are included with any downloads posted, and that the individual parts here are not posted for download elsewhere. Of course these parts are still not open for profit making ventures and proper copyrights and trademarks still apply.
---
This is to reduce the clutter involved with kitbashes and customized ships that use the parts so that people don't have to toss away a warp nacelle or saucer because of my "not on other websites" rule or what have you. As for parts that aren't yet posted in that section, it would still be best to contact me beforehand if you plan to release a ship using them as many of those aren't technically "my" designs.
At this particular time, it doesn't mean much either way as the parts section is still rather barren but sometime in the future I intend to have it greatly expanded with more than just a few dinkin' warp engines. This is to ensure that whenever that happens, you kitbashers won't be limited to distributing your creations because of a readme file that is geared towards my creations.
There is, as always, the potential for this to be abused by a small few and loopholes and workarounds to be exploited - which was the main reason I even created the mod policy in the first place. Obviously, posting anything for download on the vastness of the internet basically screws a creator's chances of keeping things in check and the policy itself is essentially a gentleman's agreement more than anything else. The mere fact that all of you have respected the policy so much gave me reason enough to make such an exception. So, kitbash and modify all you want and if you have any questions, complaints, flippings of the bird...whatever, post here. And if you have parts requests, drop them in the other thread and I'll try to accommodate you.
