This page is a work in progress; It will cover how mods should credit Mapbase and its external content.
The following text was originally made for the v5.0 `README` and has yet to be properly organized into a wiki article:
---
Mapbase is an open-source project and its contents can be distributed and used at the discretion of its users. However, this project represents many parts of the Source modding community packaged into a whole, so credit is taken very seriously.
* Mods using Mapbase in its entirety must mention that their mod runs on Mapbase. For example, you can mention "Powered by Mapbase" or "This mod uses Mapbase" in your mod's credits. If your mod is on Steam, it can also be mentioned on the Store page. You can also link to Mapbase's ModDB or GitHub page. The repository's `README` (**note:** not yet updated for v5.0) should be included in any fork of the Mapbase repository. More may be added to this in the future in order to greater account for the external content.
* Mods using substantial content from Mapbase without fully running on it should credit the content's original creators. For example, Mapbase uses Saul Rennison's code for dynamic RTT shadow angles in Source 2013. If you were to borrow this from Mapbase's repository for your own mod without running on the rest of Mapbase, you should credit Saul Rennison instead of Mapbase itself. When v5.0 is released, all external code documented to have been used by Mapbase will be listed in the `README`. Any code not listed inside should be credited to Mapbase itself.
