If the Mods/Add-on's are for sale and they used O2 to create them; then it is illegal for them sell them.

I doubt that they will pay taxes for the money they earn...

AFAIK it is totally illegal for people to sell 3rd party mods for OFP without explicit permission from BIS...

Between the Lines and Planet of War are Addons from a littlle publisher called XMP (www.xmp.de). They offer Mods for different games. It is a company Ltd, so sure they pay taxes. Or do you mean the part for the developers? It is legal, otherwise BI or CM would districted it.

Why shouldnt ppl be able to sell whhat theyve created maybe not in OFPs case cause u have to use their tools but that really isnt the point

Take the new map editor for half-life,Hammer or so its called,if u look at the license agreement it says u cant sell ur maps which im quite sure wasnt mentioned in the previous versions which were called worldcraft though if u make a mod u can release it as a standdalone version and give valve set percentage of profits.

Funny thing is that half-life wouldnt have been anywhere near as popular without the mod and mapper types so i guess valve is trying to have its cake and eat it confused.gif

Even worse is the editor and conditions for making maps for thief 2, it says if u release a map to the general public the makers of thief 2 can take ur map and use it for commercial purposes without ur permission.
