• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Permission Policy

Do we have a policy with regard to uploading work that uses the work of others? I have a couple of works in the pipeline and a few repaints completed for World War One aircraft. I've emailed the creators of both aircraft. One of them has given two email addresses, neither of which are current, according to my service provider. The second creator has been emailed about a fortnight ago but has sent no reply. It is obvious that acknowledgement of the original author is necessary, but can I upload without the express permission of the original author?
 
My thinking is....

If you asked by email and you get email is dead back than upload with credit.

If you asked by email and the email looks to be alive wait a week than upload with credit if you get no replay back.

Just make sure that the original author isn't one of the few that have banned there works from SOH.
 
Thanks Allen. I was thinking along similar lines. As a sideline, while looking for other works by the same authors in the Outhouse library, I came across a cfs1 Blackburn Kangaroo.
Sent another email today which bounced back after a couple of minutes.

Ravenna,

Allen's response is correct. As long as you make a good faith effort and include the original documentation, that's about all you can do under the circumstances. Thanks for asking! :mixed-smiley-010:
 
Thanks Andrew,
I've certainly run out of places to look, with the exception of one CFS1 upload by someone other than the original author. I'll ask whether he has contact details for Stephan Scholtz. If that draws a blank I'lljust upload with the original documentation, which I would have done anyway.
 
Well:mixed-smiley-027:(opens mouth, changes feet) I did contact the "uploader" here in the library. It turns out that he is the author, and has kindly given me permission to use his work.
