Disclaimers - Copyright Statements
These aircraft are FREE for individual use
but are emphatically not deemed FREEWARE for redistribution by other sites
without consent.
As you are undoubtedly aware there is a plethora of "upgrades" out there for
Mike's aircraft - virtually all of them unauthorized and are not condoned by
Mike.
Particularly a lot of "conversions", notably FSX, becoming predominant.
All of these modification and re-releases of Mike's aircraft should be
considered as "hacked/ plagiarized/illegal" version and are not supported by
Mike in anyway.
Many of the re-packaged releases include Mike's original work plus the revised,
recoded, hacked solutions to force the modifiers interpretation of what is, in
their eyes, making it a better product or suitable for use in a simulator it was
not designed for.
In fact repackaging Mike's original work and including modified work by others
is fundamentally illegal no matter who is credited for the work.
By all means people are welcome to create addons and revision to different
components as addons/upgrades - however publishing them should be as
independent releases and
not include any of Mike's original work
Such as "Livery for xxxxx" or "2D Panel for xxxx" etc
For example: If you have modified one of Mike's aircraft and you want to
release your "revision" then you should refer to the original aircraft for
download and then allow people to download independent file/s to add/apply your
revision (packaged only with the revision items) to
the original aircraft.
If the revision alters any of Mike's original code then
you require consent for releasing the
revised code as part of your revision release.
As Mike has passed guardianship to me for his models then that consent must come
from me (Garry J. Smith of GJSmith.net).
I know, sounds draconian, but essential to protect the legal rights of Mike's
products and also ensure the product integrity is maintain at the level it was
designed to meet.
Remember, Mike's aircraft (released via the Mike-Stone pages) are designed for
FS2004 - New Liveries are actively encouraged - as independent livery releases.
Even New 2D panels can be pumped out, again as independent Panel releases.
But repackaging Mike's aircraft code with modified code without consent, no matter
what the reasoning, is not condoned and is deemed as illegal and a breach of
Mike's EULA.
