I don't put FCL in front of my parts gotten from the First CAD library or from 3d in front of 3d content central parts, after 4 years of Part making/collecting, people tend to forget the source. I would rather have people email me " Hey, I think this part was orginally so and so's, can you take a look at it." Instead of posting here. That is why there is a contact page for this issue.

Let me try this again ........

If you read a really good novel but you just didn't like the ending so much, I doubt the origional writer (or publisher) would like it if you republished the novel with the last 2 chapters changed to give it your new ending. In fact, I'd be willing to bet it would be financially painful.

I'm not sure why the burden is put on the origional publisher to report ownership of posted models. It's clear to me that many of your models originated from the FCL without giving credit to FCL. The only other library with permission to repost my content in any form is 3DContentCentral.com.

You should limit your content on your website to your origional work and not "collect" or "tweek" others work. If you don't like a model on the FCL, just model a different version ........ from the beginning. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to invest the time and money into FCL just to have others claim it. FCL models are free to all teams to use as they see fit for developing FRC designs but they should not be part of other website content unless they have an agreement with FCL.

There's clearly room for all of us. Just post stuff that's "purely" your own.

Just say'n .........
