That sounds about right...
If I may add to this, what about those where permission is apparently required?
To me, it feels only the original developers or artists should have such authority.
In fact, if I were the original developer or artist, and I saw someone posted a rip from my game(s) that said "permission required to use..." , umm...yeah...I might be taking some action. Probably not along the lines of sheet take-down or a C&D on ripping, but the permissions mandate would be nullified.
Are there any solid guidelines in place about such credit tags? (with the exception of something that the original developers actually uploaded, but that should probably be mentioned in the tag, then, shouldn't it?)
Sorry if this is kinda off-topic, but it seems to be similar enough.
Can just delete this post if you feel otherwise.
