Gentlemen I need some help: 1. Does anyone know who made these buildings (sorry for winter picture, i'll post a summer one if needed)? 2. Are there more of these or are these the only variation? Depending on an answer I may have further questions. Thanks in advance,

Most of them come from Balkan Feldzug mod. Just a little unsure about the 2 smallest ones...

I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death.

Really? That's terrible news.
Right so what's the community stance on use of this buildings as a resource?

My opinion would be to use whatever you need and just give him credit, as I know you would.
He would be happy to know his material was still in use.
He passed back in the "BKP" days. Was a shock to all of us.
I think you are good to go.

I agree with atlas on this, use the objects and give the guy credit. This is what I will do.

@tedi: you could check the OA mod. I've made a selection of best buildings from Balkan Feldzug, HeimatfronT, CSLA and Panzerwaffen (with proper credits). From DTF games (Stalingrad), some buildings (and objects) were released for public use, some are not.

Objects created for the game fall into several categories:
1: Those created for singular use
2: Those created for any use.
3: Those created for use with conditions, i.e. Copyrighted Work.
Standing Rules in BK...
Some objects are offered only for use by Players for their own use; Category 1.
These do not require a Credit to the Author since the end product will not be shared.
If an object is offered to the community without conditions, then it falls into Category 2.
This would be considered Public Domain.
Author should always be credited if identity is known.
Copyrighted works should always be recognized and permission gained before use; Category 3.
Credit must always be given on Copyrighted Work as required by the author's EULA, if permission is given.
Sub-Category 3b This category includes original BK Game Releases. Generally, you must honor the owner's EULA. Copyrighted works cannot be shared unless the EULA allows it. Most do not. BK EULA prohibits the sharing objects between game versions. In other words, you can supply objects modifications .i.e. resources (skin, 1.xml file and icon.tga) but not the object itself. This restricts the sharing of the MOD or End Product for use by only person that have the same Game Release.
You have a Green Light as long as proper credit is given. This is clearly Category 2!
