You might be surprised what people will decide is "destructive or compatibility breaking". After all, just changing the recipe for an existing item will break compatibility with any auto-crafting or machine processing setups that rely on the old recipe. No matter how much the recipe change makes sense or is a good idea for balance reasons, there will always be some people that get annoyed by it. And yet this is a perfectly reasonable thing for a mod author to do.It certainly would be, if it stood alone---but, in this case, it's limited by the subject matter of the sentence as a whole: "FTB will never knowingly distribute destructive or compatibility-breaking code that directly affects FTB mod packs or harms the end-user's enjoyment of an approved FTB mod pack." If it's not "destructive or compatibility-breaking" (like a legitimate nerf), then it wouldn't qualify, whatever the player's complaints about its impact on their enjoyment.
4. I believe that I have the right, both legally and ethically, to control what software runs on my computer, and to analyse and/or modify that software in any way I see fit as long as I do not distribute anything that I don't have the right to.
OK, we disagree, let's either leave it at that or take it to the Chat forum.I have to tell you that this is not true...
I have to tell you that this is not true. There are many examples where installing some software is not allowed. Notice the difference between allowed and preventing it. Essentially by agreeing the windows licence (and most other system licences) for example you agree that you won't install any software which will harm other peoples computers. Now ofc this is very hard to enforce but still legally you do not have the right to install it. Another example would be (again windows) the the KCMS (kernel mode code signing) for the 64 bit version of Windows 7 which actively prevents you from loading any unsigned drive at boot time (you can install it but it will not work).
It is relevant because of this:How is Windows remotely related?
Windows = Forge, and Forge does not stop you installing certain mods.
It's more like if Firefox refused to run ifChromeVisual Studio was installed. (Not Chrome, because Chrome could replace Firefox, but Visual Studio is a completely different unrelated thing)

The basic premise of you comment lots of use could agree with but the inflammatory tone I beleave we left behind a week ago, awe my hero, pity most of us are not as sensibleI dont usually add anything to these type of threads as I dont really "do" internet drama but I will just say this:

What if the mod is really, really good?And players, if a mod author is being a dick dont use their mod, they wont get downloads, their mod will die and someone a bit more decent will make something similar im sure.

What if the mod was RP2?
What if the mod was Thermal Expansion? (Not saying King_Lemming is a dick, it's hypothetical)
There's no DRM happening anywhere. (Yet.)DRM in any form whether it be a AAA game or minecraft or a simple piece of music is malicious code in my opinion. One of the main reasons I bought minecraft was because of their lack of DRM. (you may argue that you have to log in but you can play without logging in.) But now to see this cropping up in the community. I feel that Notch would be ashamed to see this happening in this community, He wanted a community that worked together albeit it took him a while to come around to the idea of modding his game. I love mods and it truly makes me sad to see this happening. Why can't we all just get along.

No.Well I'm saying that Slow should have no tolerance to DRM for mods he makes a specific statement in the proposal about DRM for legitimate reasons. I personally don't think there are legitimate reasons especially in a mod. I don't want to sound like I'm making light of what modders do you guys do amazing things you in particular have some pretty great mods I love Liquid XP. But I feel that our community shouldn't be having the useless squabbles over 2 planks or 4 planks, or whether one mod should be able to work with another. Which if I can't use the mod I want with another mod then I consider that DRM they are restricting my ability to use their mod. I do not mean anything about DRM on minecraft but DRM on specific mods. which I believe is what you thought I was speaking of sorry if I was vague or misleading in my statement.
BTW I know this sounds weird but everytime a modder responds to something I post it almost makes me fangirl. I'm a guy just FYI. You guys are to my mind what celebrities are to other peoples minds. Keep up the good work.
Interesting that these mods exist for the very reason that Minecraft contains no real development-restrictive DRM.If you don't like DRM, don't use any mod which contains it. It's really that simple.
