I still remebered, it was 2002, when I released my first carset, Tobacoo carset 2001, though looks poor nowadays, Ralph Hummerich sent me an email quoted my first line of GP4Form.txt:
DO NOT USE MY WORK AS BASE FOR YOUR OWN WITHOUT PERMISSION
he asked me why did I put this line in my GP4Form.txt, he asked me if the carset is completely made by all myself. Though the carset is almost done by myself, there's a only a point, I am using Beck's logo on Jag from RH01 textures without permission. So I replied him the truth, and had a permission of the logo. RH replied me with these word generally says:
it doesn't matter , I just wondering how you can make it so good , but remember : it's a golden rule in the community that ask for permisson if you want to use part of others works.
because he tought me the rule of the community. It's not a shame you made a mistake, but it's a shame you didn't admit your mistake and instead that you are right. That's the real shame. Nicola ,now that you say many carshape makers are sharing the same model of the cockpit+safebelt, you don't have the right to say that your car is 100% originally, coz you are using other's shape, no matter comes from my cars or others. So you need to ask the source of the belt if it is non-permission, and then make a declear.
If you annonce that your car is 100% original, it your lability that bear others' doubt and query.
