    Re: Mecha Legs —Mladen Pejic
   <CLAPPING> Beautiful, nicely worded James! I let James use my models, because he has the decency to first ask me before he does anything, if he could actually USE my model. Then, when he put it on his wonderfully organized and cool website, he (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: Mecha Legs —Dave Schuler
     (...) This certainly is an appropriate display of courtesy, especially given the sensitive and occasionally nebulous nature of online copyright issues. What is the prevailing wisdom regarding reverse-engineering of online models? Dave! (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Mecha Legs —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) I think it's at the very least considered polite to give credit. I'm not sure there's prevailing wisdom, per se. My black hopper, currently available at my brickbay site ( <grin> ), has been reverse engineered in the past. I'm not particularly (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Mecha Legs —Matthew Miller
      (...) It wasn't that at all. Someone asked nicely if he could use the design posted online, and the request was denied in a rude way. Proper credit would certainly have been given. (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
     
          Re: Mecha Legs —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) Ya, at the time I hadn't read it all the way through (sadly, now I have). I'll stick with the assertion I made that there were allegations of copying of models without proper credit being given. But I'd agree with you that was not the case in (...)

         Re: Mecha Legs —Karim Nassar
     (...) I've got a bit of experience on this general topic, as I also get many, many emails every week from people asking me if they can use my Pallas Spaceworks designs. I am also rather sensitive about this topic, because I am an Industrial (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Mecha Legs —Tim Courtney
     (...) Rob- I wouldn't sweat too much apologizing to him. _he_ was the one who was rude, you had the decency to ask permission. He was the one who showed himself a fool. We've seen that from the numerous responses in the past day. Though messaging by (...) (24 years ago, 20-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

        Re: Mecha Legs —Mladen Pejic
   Don't apologize, I'm the jerk. And it's okay you can use the legs, but I don't think you would want after the way I responded to your request. Sorry, I apologize Rob, I was way too rude and mean. Sorry again. (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
