OK, now I understand what you are talking about, but the soundmod is optional and it is only one of tens of mods available: new planes, new effects (smoke, craters, flak, etc...), new default skins, new cockpit skins, new map textures, entirely new maps, etc... . All these are original work.

Correct. But the thing I pointed out was the problem that Oleg has to dig through all of these mods and ensure himself that there is no code, no texture or soundfile included from another game or all profit from SoW will go to the lawyers.

I have great respect for some of the work (though I still think the way it's done is wrong), but considering all the circumstances, I'd rather have Oleg and his team working on SoW, so these modders can implement their work officially rather than digging through these mods and implementing them in a patch for an old game.

Yes, I agree that now Oleg has to work on BoB.
