Hello,
I have a A380 made by omega95. But I can not find the project on Github. Can anybody tell me where this respo is ?
Thanks

Does FGADDON have comprehensive content auditing for copyright compliance?
Omega said that he doesn't care about the licenses of his work anymore and many of us on the forum decided to make them GPL
Narendran re-released his aircraft under the GNU GPL licence.
Only the author of a work has the authority to relicence an object. It would be illegal for anyone else to make it GNU GPL.

He made one post where he got his facts wrong. It's not really a hanging offence, especially as he is a young man who is learning about the project and, to his credit, is gradually becoming a contributor to it.
This must also apply to FGADDON, perhaps more so, as it is the official repository. I suspect a retrospective audit of FGADDON has not been done, simply because of the time involved.
