This can only be determined if the original author has shared their work here. We also don't need 50 versions of the same table! To be approved, there must be MAJOR changes made from the original. Our aim here is to change the current, toxic environment to one of sharing, as it's always been intended. Please Note: If you feel so strongly that you own your recreation, built on the backs of hundreds of folks that came before you, simply don't share it anywhere. Give the authors some time to get feedback, fix bugs, enjoy the accolades, and be proud of their work! Please do not MOD any table that has not been published for at least 60 days. Please be kind and still contact the author(s)! It's polite and the right thing to do. It's FREE! ALL of it! None of us own this stuff, and our goal is to preserve pinball history, not get all dramatic and pissy about who used what from where. Originals still require explicit permission! As of APR 1, tables are to be treated as open source freeware, just like the core software, VPX. All tables, regardless of where they are uploaded, shared, or hidden behind unscrupulous paywalls, are free to MOD. TABLES UPLOADED ON AND AFTER April 1st, 2022, we're implementing a new policy. The above applies to any table uploaded prior to April 1st, 2022. If, after 30 days, you receive no response, you are free to MOD it.Īny MODs based on free to MOD work in which the 'new' author claims required permission ARE free to MOD. If you'd like to MOD another author's work, please contact them. It is unacceptable to 'lock' down a table that's been modded from something freely given. Any tables used that are originally free to MOD are to remain free to MOD, regardless of how many authors and/or versions have been subsequently involved.
