A legal question for you, HPS guys

[P.Ako]

I gotta expand on this topic to explain what it is. Just changing the existing names, say West-German to Colombia. Not actually modifying anything but existing text in the exe, and maybe some of the bmp files within. This is also NOT for monetary gain, but for a free MOD for the community to enjoy? I've done this in the CS games, also by Tiller, but if it's a problem, I'll just do it for my own enjoyement and not waste any more of my time working on this series, as I'm really supposed to be working on the unit icons for the new Middle East game for Matrix anyway... Please advise...

I've been working on a mod for Buda '45 with Allied Bulgarians, and also for Korea '50, with plans for Spanish Blue Division, not really hard to do this exe modifying, so I don't understand why it WOULD be a problem?

Sorry i had to tell you by email but i wanted to know the answer from HPS guys first.

I think that it's not legal, you would be supplying the game exe for free once the mod is finished because it would require to overwrite the game executables.
