Important Information
|
This website, including all images, interface elements and text have been designed
and written by Anthony Bowden, 2001-2010, unless otherwise stated. Some third-party
Javascript is used on some gallery pages.
Some of the material available for download from
Rail Sim Routes UK is of de facto public domain status or otherwise
unrestricted, which means that I've done all I can to waive my copyright, so you can
freely modify and redistribute these files without needing to seek my permission or even credit me.
I would still appreciate being acknowledged as the original author, but it's entirely up to you whether or not you do this. Downloads containing public domain/unrestricted material
will be marked via a BVE Developer Guidelines "Open Source" banner
on the download page.
However, some other material is protected by copyright, usually
because I required permission to use those files myself, or I had to obtain a licence
to use them. For re-use of copyright material, you'll need to contact me via
e-mail. If you re-release copyright material without permission, I'm probably
not going to contact you about it, but the owner of the copyright material may well
do so. Downloads containing copyright material will
have a BVE Developer Guidelines "Copyright Material" banner on
the download page.
Some downloads may contain a mixture of public domain/unrestricted material,
and copyright material. You need to read any documentation included
with the add-on for further details. Downloads containing both kinds of material
may be marked with a BVE Developer Guidelines
"Mixed Content" banner on the download page.
After the installation of a Rail Sim Routes UK add-on to your hard disk, copyright
material can be found in folders named "CopyrightMaterial\". Any files within a
Rail Sim Routes UK add-on folder (e.g. "Bham_X-City_South\"), but *not* within a
"CopyrightMaterial\" folder, can be considered public domain/unrestricted. If
in doubt, please open any object files you wish to re-use in a text editor, and read the
header at the start of the file, which states whether any copyright restrictions are placed
on the file(s) in question.
Please note: If you want to re-release any of my public domain/unrestricted
files,
or modify my routes, you are more than welcome to do so. However it'll
be up to you to help users with technical support should
any problems arise; I can only offer assistance with the original, unmodified versions
of my downloads.
