Quote - There is NOTHING in the Eve 4 ReadMe stating otherwise, so WHY is this even an issue?  I truly do not understand what is going on here.

Being wrong about what is Copyrighted (everything is unless specifically placed in the "Public Domain") and what you are allowed to do with Copyrighted material causes all sorts of trouble.

A visit to the Copyright Laws and Ethical Standards forum, and some of the links that forum's header (e.g. dreamsosweet's Copyright Article) is recommended.
