Topic: A 'releasing other people's works' question...
Around fifteen years ago I was in conversation with another Starmada player who went by the username jerryxxv on (I think) the Yahoo! group and possibly on here too. During that time he sent me various files on Starmada Compendium and Starmada X settings he was working on--for instance, the main one I remember was a human-centric setting called Balance of Power (which he did originally in Compendium before re-working it into SX). Of course, around that time he fell out of contact (mainly because, IIRC, his ability to communicate with the wider world was curtailed by external forces).
Would anyone object if I post those files up myself in the Starmada X sub-forum? If anyone does object (especially the creator of the works), I won't, but if no-one objects then I'll find 'em, burn 'em to a disc and post them up. Just to be clear, this is his own works, nothing to do with me (except for a few bouncing-ideas-back-and-forth very late in the day, which might have reduced the quality because of my two-pennyworth...)
I'm asking on here because it's a difficult decision to make on my own. On the one hand, I think his settings (still a work in progress, admittedly) were interesting and they gave me some inspirations. On the other, I don't want to just post them up and be told I'm doing something wrong. I admit that by posing the question I could be doing something wrong, but WTH...
