Hello, I'm a user of the open source game engine Minetest. For the Minetest game Capture the Flag I had created a map using one of the schematics uploaded on your site (specifically www.planetminecraft.com/project/chateau-de-lufthausen---flying-mansion/). However, the schematic mentions no open source license and I don't have explicit permission of the creator to use their work. This is required by the game I'm creating the map for. I have already contacted the creator of the schematic asking for their explicit approval.

This brings me to my main question. In your Terms of Use it is stated that Planet Minecraft doesn't allow redistribution of any content provided by them. Do creations that users upload fall under this rule or are they separate from it, which would mean I would only need the creator's approval?

Hi.

1.
Can I ask to make this ticket public?
In order for me to refer to it to the administration of the CTF game as an official response.

2.
I wrote to the AAmdahl user through the internal system of your site, requesting permission. Unfortunately he is not responding. Can you help me in getting an AAmdahl response? And if it is possible to connect it to this ticket.

Regards,
ksandr

Yes, I can make it public.

We can't give any contact info for members as a privacy concern, but hopefully you're able to get in touch with them.

Hi ksandr,

Unless I am mistaken, I believe the passage in the Terms of Use that you're referring to is in reference to official materials and site assets created by our developers/administrators.

"You agree to follow all applicable laws and regulations when using this website. Furthermore, you agree that you shall not:

7: Redistribute any content, including data, provided by us in any manner whatsoever including by means of printed publication, fax broadcast, web pages, e-mail, web newsgroups or forums, or any other electronic or paper-based service or method;"

I take this to refer to things like our user traffic data, or official site features such as PMCskin3D. Users on our website are free to upload their works elsewhere, as their creations do not belong to us. As such, they are able to freely license and redistribute their content where they wish.

If you acquire explicit permission from AAmdahl, I don't anticipate there being any sort of legal issue you would need to contend with on our part, but I will assign the developers to your ticket for confirmation.

Regards,
Drzzter
