Question about Skin Permissions and WinStyles...
Friday, March 7, 2003 by _5480 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
If I were to make a WinStyles suite with a bunch of different skins, and posted it in this way...
WB By xxxx
IP By xxxx
Wall By xxxx
etc.
Do I still need to get author's permission to post such themes? I am in no way taking credit for anyone's work...but I don't want to waste the moderator's time and piss people off, so ask first, right?

If you make a Winstyles Suite, rather than a theme, you do not need permission. Suites only contains links to the skins, and not the actual skin files themselves. Therefore, you're not distributing anyone's work.
If you make a Winstyles Theme, however, you do need permission. Themes contain the actual skin files.

It is common courtesy, when posting a Winstyles Suite, to list the author's names and the names of the works.
