Eh, it's his code, his work. I believe he's within his rights to decide how he's compensated.
I personally think this method is a bad idea but then again I don't pay this game and don't even know what the mod does. Maybe it's the second coming or whatever and he knows his business more than I though. Either way, it's his right.
Not really. Modding is allowed, but as soon as you start making money over a game you don't own I expect Rocktar is gonna cease an desist him into oblivion. Yeah, it's his code... but without the game is useless. Donations are a thing, selling something you don't own the right to is another. Be aware, I don't want anything to do with that mod and I don't even know whst it is tbh
Legally, you might be right. I don't know; I'm not a lawyer and I don't care enough about this case to learn about it.
But I'm not talking about legalities here. I'm talking about calling this person's moral character into question because he decided to go this route, which I don't really agree with. I don't care that it is built on top of Rockstar's code. Everything is built on top of somebody else's code. Again, not talking legalities here; but I don't see a difference, and don't agree that Rockstar should even have a say in this. They should sit back and be thankful that somebody created whatever this is which might just sell them a few extra copies of the game through no investment of their own.
I don't like DRM. I don't like people charging money for what is built on top of FOSS. But I also think it's the creators' right to choose how they distribute their work. /shrug
