Expect heartbreak and disappointment if you bust your arse for anyone's satisfaction besides the half dozen fellow Whovians who would use it. The original TARDIS mod got an extremely underrated reception compared to even the most trivial parts.
And I didn't see them after I posted either. O.oĮdit: When I posted this, I couldn't see any of the above posts. The realization of this salient fact is an important step in a person's cognitive development, though some seem never to reach it. Ultimately, rules and laws, are not static, monolithic things, but must be flexible as certain situations may render them invalid. That's a matter decided on a case-by-case basis (because it's very, very complex and dependent on circumstance). In the case such as this mod, something long abandoned where the creator hasn't been active of late, it's not reasonable to expect that a simple edit such as this should be held to the same standard (that the editor must get written permission).Īnd derivative works don't necessarily grandfather the copyright of the previous one. When the rule is to ask first, it makes derivative works nigh impossible, as all the creator need do is to never reply. It is indeed common courtesy, though there are many cases where such courtesy is impossible or unnecessary. People should always ask permission first, not just because it is copyrighted but also it is simple common courtesy. Derivative works are still covered by the copyright of the original works though.
