Electronic Arts hat heute eine Statement zur EULA auf der offiziellen Sims 2 Seite veröffentlicht. Direkt zu finden hier.
Bastler haben nun auf ihren benutzerdefinierten Inhalt ein Copyright. Sie dürfen daher die Spielregeln bestimmen, wie man damit umzugehen hat.[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif]Hi everyone,
Over the past several months, we’ve received questions about the End User License Agreement (EULA) that is in our games for The Sims 2 regarding custom content. Below is a statement from our Sims team. While there is no change to our End User License Agreement, we hope this clears up any confusion you might have regarding the EULA.
Thanks,

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif]The Sims celebrates creativity, humor, and community. We strive to provide players with tools that enable them to customize and personalize their game experience. We are proud that so many of The Sims and The Sims 2 players create their own art for the games and share it with others. Sharing art online is a hobby that involves an investment of time, energy and money. Whether players choose to share their original artistic creations with the community is up to them: some custom content creators design work for a fee; some host their works on sites that organize, store and serve an enormous amount of content for subscribers; some artists request donations; and some artists allow all players to download their creations for free. These artists set their own terms for how they want to share their talents with the community at large. Those terms should be respected by other players. [/FONT]









Das per EULA auf nicht kommerzielles Anbieten einzuschränken, ist vermutlich rechtlich einfach zu kompliziert und würde vermutlich eher Rechtsstreitigkeiten nach sich ziehen, als die EULA so zu belassen und die eigene Meinung halboffiziell zu verkünden, mit der Option, diese Meinung auch wieder ändern zu können. 
und das ist doch toll.
