@ liquid141, Skurn (and others):
Sorry if I missed some historical part of the discussion, that already went over this matter sometime earlier, but I feel I must bring it up. Please forgive me if this present posting you are reading covers ground we have been over before.
As we all know there exists within our dmod library the occasional inclusion of materials that might be okay under a "fair use" policy of freeware, but might not be okay as a part of a "pay to play" platform. Would these platforms be willing to use the same materials in a "for profit" context?
Alternatively, even if these platforms are okay with this situation, are we exposing dmod authors to possible legal recourse by someone who thinks their copyrighted material was stolen once we (the DN) start participating in a money making business that uses any of these types of troublesome dmods?
As I understand it, European Union legal copyright matters (both present and pending) may make this issue an even more complicated one. Check out this article --> EU Gives Up On The Open Web Experiment, Decides It Will Be The Licensed Web Going Forward .
To me, this issue seems to me to be the greatest stumbling block, WAY beyond any technical issues. But, maybe that is just me and the way I see things.
