Hm...as all official sources are gone, I guess, it would be some kind of "illegal" to offer a downlaod here. As beeing responsible for what happens here, I would say, we should NOT offer stuff that officially went away for some reason, nore post links to strange downloasd sites in order to prevent any kind of inconvenience ;)

cheers,

Isn't the other way around true? If a software has been freely distributed before its fall, it can be distributed as freely as long as you don't charge money for it. Of course, offering a cracked software counts as illegal but I don't think Fabric Engine falls into that category.

You'd have to read the license and terms and agreement. It should cover the case... but yeah. EOL liberty to continue using and archiving, making files free if it was formerly free too as non-profit.... it's all grey still.

I do believe it should be a human right to access any data, game or software that has reached EOL as long as non-profit with attribution when redistributed.

But reading the terms is the safest bet.

I tend to agree with the two of you above, but the last decision on such matters goes to oli.
Damn, if i could only get into my hands the version (v1.15.x) required to run FESRetopo ;)

Hey there..
well, here is the "eula" . And I guess, FE was not "free" for everyone in all possible cases. It was never declared as "freeware", as far as I know. In any case, you can share the links via PM, right? ;)
Anyway..feel free to read..

"1.4 Backup Copies. After installation of the Software pursuant to this
Agreement, You may store a copy of the installation files for the Software
solely for backup or archival purposes. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, You may not otherwise make copies of the Software or Documentation."

Further:
"...2.4 Prohibited Acts. You shall not sublicense, distribute or otherwise make
the Software available to any third party (including, without limitation, any
contractor, franchisee, agent or dealer)..."

cheers,
oli

No.

Also, as I understand, you can not use Fabric now, because license servers are not working.

Seems your plugins really attract some newly registered user here :p

Damn, I just downloaded this addon with so much excitement to only find that it requires 3rd party software that's no longer available :,(
