Definitely murky. Definitely something Valve can answer too I think. Can you imagine the expense and process to hire a lawyer and have them contact Valve's legal people and try and work it out? Ugh :^)
There are two things in CZ I want to use - ok 4. The BlackHawk helecopter, a generic truck model, a generic Humvee, and some of the music as a background track for a demo movie. I've already taken the model content and ported it to Source with reskinning, etc. It comes down now to whether it's OK to how much I can distribute it beyond to people I know that have a full HL2/CZ license. Also whether it's permissable for me to release movies and still images (screenshots) where the (reskinned and ported) models are shown, but actual access to the full mod content is not available to the public. Here's a pic btw of how it's being used... http://oregonstate.edu/~holtt/tamucc/background020003.jpg Quoting "Jeffrey \"botman\" Broome" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Tim Holt wrote: > > So exactly what is the legality/status/etc. for using CZero content in a > HL/HL2 > > mod?
