I've asked the librarian to suspend Dog1's two recent scenery upload packages, Tulagi and Espiritu Santo, as they contain GSL tools not released by the author for public use. If Martin Wright provides documentation for the GSLEdit and GobCheck tools for unrestricted inclusion, then we will lift the restrictions on the two scenery files. Only the GSLMan tool is authorized (as far as I know) for public consumption.
Given the availability of the GSLMan tool, there is still a way to upload these scenery files without including the GSL tools. Just prepare the .gsl file in advance with the privately released GSLGob and GSLEdit tools and then upload it with the scenery package and the GSLMan tool. That way the downloaders or users can add the GSL scenery legally and efficiently. This is how Achim, Xavier, Maskrider and others upload their scenery and it is the approved method for the Outhouse.
This restriction against unauthorized tools and files applies to everyone who uploads files. Uploading program tools must be done with the written permission of the authors or proof of an attempt to contact them for permission.
I'm sorry I didn't catch this sooner. Fortunately the issue can be fixed by Dog1 by simply re-uploading his two files and any future files without the Martin Wright tools listed above.
