I received an email from Wizards of the Coast requesting that I remove the mod because apparently, since it takes materials directly from the sourcebooks it is infringing on copyrights somehow. I am sorry about all of the ruckus, but at the same time I would rather not get into a legal argument over something so trivial.

I'm not sure if you're asking for the name, in case you do (or anyone else plans to do so): the name is not important. Everyone knows him/her and is an active modder, so it would make no sense to name him/her, or to tell the details of the affair. It was an individual case, it was solved eventually, and it happened comparatively long ago, so it would do no good to anyone if the case became public. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it. (Well, at least now it is known that such a case happened in the IE modding community in the near past.)
This wizards.com issue might not have to do anything with him/her, it is just an assumption. Let's hope Sir Garrick's promising mod doesn't have to become unavailable for the players. -------------------- Mental harmony dispels the darkness.
