you must buy license from brand when you make pay-ware intended to sale (game, not mod), when you make mod Terrorviktor you do not need, when i make VBS addons (those cars for example were earlier made for VBS , than i remove brands in VBS and they are "coupe, seat, combi" not Mercedes, VW Passat, Kia Ceed") so it looks different for GAME (as standalone) and for MOD , addon etc. (like GTA addons of cars) Addons for ARMA are freeware addons (mod) which are intended to be used for free in Arma2, problem is that lots of dayz mods are making money on free addons, they make : - big server payments, - pay-win content (to start game with M4A1 instead of Makarov pistol) - make hacks "vip mode, god mode" for money, i seen in internet guys who wanted to charge money from players for playing my addons, everything would be okay if those mods were not collecting money, if they were just free pure fun gaming like it used to be in past, when players were not paying to use addons which supose to be free or if someone donates MOD than creators of content should be donated, not the way "mister X made addon, mister Y collects money for playing it" everyone can play addons in Arma2 FOR FREE, but when i see mod makers collecting money on stuff they not made (guns, vehicles) i get angry, especially when it stops me from doing addons (cause when i release addon, soon it is put in few dayz mods who start to collect money on it) i understand donations for creators, i do not accept donations for third parties like persons using addons without even asking me before regarding Origins - in this mod content which is used is made by authors and team (models, weapons, island) not made by others who were not even asked (like i was not asked about use of my work by dozens of dayz mods which use it ) every mod can use its own content (models, textures, scripts, configs, maps) but using other people content to collect donations is somehow not good, cause orginal author not made it for others but for himself (like for example guys making weapons for mod X made weapons for mod X not for mod Z or Y) my addons were made by me and i wanted to say that i have right to decide about my own work and not others
