This is one of the reasons you make your mod open source and permissible, ESPECIALLY if it starts to get popular, that way in case you vanish, someone who wishes for it to continue can pick up the pieces."
So, it isn't really needed to have Chad's consent. It will be better for the community, and that's what every modder wants: people to feel happy. If he wanted to have any authorship of his mod, he would be asking us to pay for his ideas or inventions. Remember that mods aren't an obligation of anyone and they exist with the only purpose of
entertaining people for free. Furthermore, there's not any rule saying that we must ask him to take his mod, and, also, if we do it, he will probably never answer, otherwise he would be doing his business here with the mod and all this conversation would not exist.
