So, um, how about modpacks that already exist? I kinda just recently created a HQM modpack myself and it is on the FTB launcher. Am I eligible?

The thing is, "able to get" doesn't mean "legally allowed to get and redistribute". In theory, a mod could be out there, with all the source code exposed, but without a license that allows you to take that code and redistribute it. The original author still owns the copyright unless he or she decides otherwise.
Sure, according to some, or maybe even many, people. But I have seen people use "open source" to refer to merely visible source. And also, many people will just not know, and think "oh, I can find the source code. That means it's open source and I can take it."
With both of your specific examples, yes, with a couple conditions. See the License section of the Forestry download page and the Mod Packs section (spoiler) on the Thaumcraft forum thread.
I "as a HQM developer" give everybody permission to use HQM for this competition.
I guess it had been quite tempting to strictly disallow the use of HQM for this jam where it's the only required mod.
1. Is the contest not open to residents of Canada? Usually any US contests are also open to Canadians, its quite odd to see them, Australia, and Germany on the list but not Canada.
2. What are the specs of the gaming rig? Creating a good map and pack will take some time, if the rig is not that great in terms of specs it makes more economic sense to do a job for those hours instead.

No, it's not. My message was a link to the page where permission is given to "Anyone" to "use our mod in their map or mod pack"
And still it is necessary, because i give you permission to use it, without the added question of telling us, stop being a smart ass.No, it's not. My message was a link to the page where permission is given to "Anyone" to "use our mod in their map or mod pack"
The page doesn't specify any kind of requirement. It says that it would be nice if you link back, and mentions that you want to know about people using it, but it doesn't specify that telling you anything is a requirement or prerequisite for that permission
I'm sorry if that's how you perceived it, that was not my intention.
