This should have been answered in one of these forum topics already...

short version: Redistribute "as is" is allowed.

This means you can include it in mod packs.

if you want to edit things, you should create a new mod with a dependancy of bob's mods that overides things in bob's mods.

I took a look around and didn't find any definite licensing statement. Even did forum search.

Is the licensing officially CC-BY-NC-ND? It seems to fit with what you just said.

I don't know any official liscence terms, so, I guess so.

CC-BY-NC-ND is Creative Common Attribution Non-Commercial Derivatives.

In other words, you can download as much as you want, but you can't make money or remix and modify the mod. Look, but don't touch. At least, that's my layman's understanding.

I created a barebone wiki page for this mod.

The license is currently "redistribute as is" as specified by bobbingabout.

I don't feel confidence in saying that the license is CC-BY-NC-ND unless it is stated in the big official post.
