Legal Disclaimers for Mod Files

[Mister_Anderson]

Just wondering where I might find some examples of txt/doc/pdf files that have all the legal mumbo-jumbo that one should include when releasing a mod.

ie: All textures/models/nuclear warheads/blah/blah/blaf remain the property of Remedy, etc etc.

I think you all know why I need it... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Check the index of the official MP2 tutorials, if you can find them. I remember there was a disclaimer about game material there.

Not quite what I was after, but thanks for the link anyway.

Thanks Corwin. I'll have to write something similar/applicable for the Equilbrium side of things too.

Actually theHunted if you're out there, did you write something written for MI:ND - I can't remember & I'm at work ATM.

Nope, I/we did not add any disclaimer whatsoever. The fact that we were (heavily) violating copyrights made a disclaimer redundant to me.
