[Zuvor hatte ein User des Forums angemerkt, dass Orbx es Drittentwicklern verbieten, 3D-Objekte aus den Orbx-Libraries in ihre Produkte einzufügen.]
I'll only say something about that this ONCE ( I don't want to mis-use your nice forums).
Even if that is their rule, and I'm a stickler for rules in general, I am NOT sticking to that 'rule', for two reasons (actually three, but I won't mention the third *grin* ):
1) I cannot read whatever mr. Venema types on his site, because he banned me from day one. Reason why I am not visiting any of his sites anymore, obviously.
2) they use FSAddon objects in 'their' libraries as far as I can tell (when I disable Tongass Fjords, the Tongass objects on Orbx PAKT remain visible, miraculously)
(yes, copyright Bill Womack and others, publishing rights FSAddon Publishing).
And, for Tongass Fjords (and other projects), we explicitly ALLOW other designers and users to use the objects in 'placement mode'. Reason is that we're simmers ourselves and working in a hobby industry.
Not that we really HAVE to, because there isn't any legal precedent for their claim and mr. Venema has been watching too many Big Brother movies maybe.
So there..... expect a wonderful PAKT in future without any copyright infringements, and certainly for a lower price than anything the competition will come up with... free if need be, even.
