He stated that he doesn't care how they use his resource, and they actually did still credit him for it anyway.
There's no problem here, so why make one? Why waste half a page talking about it? Try not to forget that the whole purpose of this site is supposed to be to provide resources for people to use. This isn't some copyrighted painting museum meant for people to see and not touch. We're a modding community, remember?

Woah there, hold on a second. Are you having a bad day? I definitely didn't mean to raise a ruckus with my comment there.
First of all, "half a page"? I literally wrote 2 lines (@ full screen), so not sure where you are coming from there. :<
Secondly, he did not simply say "he didn't care" (though I would try to persuade him otherwise even if he did); he actually said "I will never ask anyone to credit me". That is the comment to which I was referring; he seemed to state this believing it to be good & implied it indicated his "free domain"-ness.
My point then is the same now: I think an artist should be (& should want to be) credited for his work. To me, it is the height of disrespect to do otherwise, and while I appreciate "not wanting to be a bother" or "wanting to be free domain", I still firmly believe they should ask & receive recognition.
Now I may not convince anyone of that... But whatevs. I did, however, attempt to make that statement in a non-confrontational way, so as not to offend.
However, while the recipient was not, a third-party was... Which I'm not sure I understand.

So again. Thank you, but I of all people recognize the difference between "museum" and "modding community" in this context. I'm all about the resources being provided. I simply think it's ethically imperative that "credit given where credit's due".
Respectfully,
