[EXTERMINADER]

My only comment is that there is plenty of copyrighted material in many of the overrides, with a majority in her overrides.

So...  Do as you will, and whatever you think is fair.  I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with anyone over this.  In fact, I'm going to lock this to prevent it from happening in this thread.

70%? Did I miss something?

I think if enough people want her overrides on a third server, then you should put them there, because a majority vote would override her choice of not putting overrides on a third server

The difficulty as I see it is this issue touches on a policy toward intellectual property that would affect everyone who uploads original or derivative works to tastyspleen.

We don't currently have any contract that must be agreed to when files are uploaded to the q2-uploads account that says something like: BY UPLOADING YOUR CONTENT HERE YOU AGREE THAT TASTYSPLEEN HAS THE RIGHT TO USE SAID CONTENT IN WHATEVER DAMN WAY WE CHOOSE.

And, frankly, I don't think I would feel it would be appropriate if we were to try to institute some policy like that going forward.

Clearly spawngirl has no say over the maps themselves, as she is not the map author.

But I know she pretty nearly started from scratch on a lot of the AQ2 map overrides.

So while anyone can clearly submit their own overrides for these maps, it's not clear to me that tastyspleen is in the legal or ethical position to be able to use spawngirl's overrides "IN WHATEVER DAMN WAY WE CHOOSE".

And again, to do so, I feel, would probably be to set a bad precedent.
