Help / Re: Some questions about crediting

Thank you for quick responses.
I guess now I have to take a second look at credit files and change logs (I just noticed that those also have some authors in them), and then send couple people some DM's asking for permissions.

Help / Some questions about crediting

« on: February 15, 2022, 12:32:49 pm »

Hi. I started making my mod somewhere around 2019, lurked around the forums and played/checked out other mods to see what can be done in OpenXcom. Due to some real life stuff I stopped all work until recently and coming back I decided that if I ever was to release my mod I would need to figure out proper credits for all the stuff I incorporated/used for my mod, before continuing to work on it.

So here are a couple questions:
1. Are there any good ways to figure out original authors of sprites taken from other mods?
    (Looking through various forum threads and mod credits is sometimes not enough)

2. What is general etiquette about using other peoples work? Is crediting enough or should I ask for specific permissions.

3. Are there any authors, other than Hobbes, who specifically don't want their work (or parts of it) to be used?
    (I would have to check my mod for other things to remove)

4. Are there any restrictions or copyright issues with using artworks or concept art for research/briefing pictures?
    (For example new xcom games concept art or random stuff from the Internet)
