These aren't Opinons, I'm just thinking out loud here so no one get pissy with me..
If any one was worried about conflicts between their work and an edited version of their work, then hold on to your work until you feel its 100% complete and don't release Beta's of a WIPs. Then when you do release mark the version well so any later altered versions can't be confused for the version you released. That being said I understand how Beta Releases can help someone out, this is just a thought.
if that makes sence....
Also where I like what Low and Fly are saying, I can't see anyone changing the Slot Map, then re-leasing their own version for download with out upsetting the Pacific Team, even if they did give credit.
This all peaked my interest because I'd done something like this and gotten my head bitten off for it. (For good reason? *shrug*, probably.), I had made a copy of Chris Blairs White Sun Blue Sky Campaign COOP friendly then asked if anyone wanted it via E-mail, and was eaten for Lunch afterwards! *chuckle*
Edit: Also I don't see much difference from what I did Above, and what is being done in the AAA Campaign Topic where someone is making Versions of Campaigns with Modded Aircraft. Basicly thats altering someones work. Now, I'm not making any comments on the ethics of such. More so just trying to find out where the line is with that. IS the line different when it comes to Maps vs Campaigns?
Anyways just some (hopefully none irritating) thoughts on the subject,
