I want to install the mod on android. I've downloaded the mod from a first post of this thread. I see it also includes OXCE. If I just install OXCE.apk and copy folder context:
from
Dioxine_XPiratez_N7.0.3.4.rar\Dioxine_XPiratez\user\mods\Piratez
to
\realme Pad mini\Internal memory\OXCE\user\mods\Piratez
will every this works perfectly?

@Interdictor By any chance "Враг Неведом"(Enemy Unknown) by Vladimir Vasylyev?

I believe, you still can do such things in Russia, and probably in Japan. In Russia because in Soviet Union they pay writers for words in text, so copyright law was and probably is still weird in Russia. While I don't know why it works in Japan, but third party artists can go pretty far with definitly copyprotectable material.

In Western ethics it must be different. 

Yeah, sure.
X-COM: UFO Defense - A Novel by Diane Duane never existed.
And whole "Novelization" thing never existed in "western ethics", sure.
