After being promised by me for a long time, here it is: https://reforger.armaplatform.com/news/workshop-licenses-and-ip-faq. This is hopefully a useful resource to those who are unsure about some aspects of IP rights for 
modding. The explanations partially transfer over to 
and 
but not all of it, because those use the Steam workshop - please keep that in mind.
Feel free to discuss the blog post with me in this thread if you need any elaborations.

Does this only apply to Reforger, or does the article (by and by the large) have some application to Arma 3 as well?
Keeping in mind the age of the game, the thousands of mods pottering around and so forth.

Arma 3 also uses the same Arma Public License, so questions regarding that are the same. Steam Workshop has tighter regulations on what is in theory allowed regarding reuploads. Those are - even for APL-ND, theoretically not permitted by Steam Subscriber Agreement, but in reality nobody enforces it there unless the authors file a DMCA.

I must admit, I'm a little concerned that there isn't a true "no derivatives and no copies" license just yet, but I appreciate BIs line of thinking in a sense. I can see it being offputting to some mod creators (particularly where custom made or purchased assets are concerned), and it's definitely something that'll hold me back from shifting from A3 to Reforger / A4 for the time being.
Not being able to prevent your mod from being re-uploaded after removal is somewhat problematic as well, particularly if a mod has been removed out of protest at something another creator and / or Bohemia has done.
But that's a whole other issue.

But that's a whole other issue.
The FAQ literally gives you an example of a two sentence license clause that takes care of both of those concerns.

The APL-ND no copies issue is the exact same in A3 and DayZ. You are free to reupload the mod to some custom mod sync launcher or file hoster as long as you credit the source. So in that sense it is no reason to not do reforger modding.
And as Steve pointed out, we provided an example license for a no copies license. You can choose a custom license for Reforger mods while publishing.

That's excellent - cheers for the clarification Ark. \o

Question: I don't pay attention too much to Reforger in regards to creating say a Gamemode like Liberation but in Reforger, I noticed Reforger has a script editor if you makes scripts in does that fall under the whole "you made it in our software"
just wondering why you'd use it instead of just VSC (I'm an Arma 3 modder so please excuse my ignorance)
