Because of the things that happened to savagewar, I recently thought about mirroring several VXL and SHP downloads on my server. The problem actually is, that I'm not sure, what I'm allowed to do. There are many assets which don't have a license or readme file, also most readmes don't cover this situation.
So I'd like to ask:
Am I allowed to release assets on my homepage when a) fully crediting the author and b) linking back to the page were I got them from if they didn't forbid it in their license?

Some examples which are not clear:

You don't do anything wrong. Unless someone states they only want their voxels to be at some.site.com only, you can mirror as much as you like. and the way you made the example, is a good way to show you are just hosing Wink

Ok here's the deal...

If its on a site already you shouldn't put it on yours. Unless you ask the artist first. If you don't know who made it, you could always try to ask around, But you would be better of just not even bothering, as there are enough resource sites as it is, There's no need for another.

This is coming from some one who makes gfx's and I have a resource site of my own, And would prefer to keep my stuff exclusive to my site, As every mod and site wants its own exclusive content.

That's not what we're discussing about Wink

I guess asking the author in every case is the best solution - even if it's quite complicated.

Looking at your system, you could probably make them link back to the parent sites as an overall index. Just be sure to ask the site owner permission.

Hmm, sounds like a nice project, good luck with it Wink.
Also, you have my permission to mirror my SHPs on your server.

you can mirror my stuff too. But since i change from time to time some of my old stuff, you should post only a link to the tibweb topic and not direct to the download. Wink
