Anyone who gets worked up over their 'Mod'(itself an edit of others work) being privately edited is retarded and just trying to grandstand.
off-topic:
I really know how it feels when you see your self-made stuff of an already released mod in another (often terrible made) mod that was released to the public without asking for permission. I had that 2 times. The first time I didn't do anything, because I only read that this guy would release this mod anytime but he never did... so ok.
But the next time I saw a released mod randomly of another guy and on one screen an artillery tower of my own mod. If you know how much time this had cost to plan, model, skin, implement and test this tower (or any other stuff) you'd know what a feeling this is. I was so bad tempered that I decide to connect him. Ok then he apologized and I allowed him to use this stuff...

So I'd recommend that everyone who plans to use stuff of other mod(s) should ask the creator(s) when he plan to release this to the public. If the mod is only for private use then... and ONLY then... it's not necessary.
