Is it ok if i make a list of all the free plugins on my site and make them available for download? Im also adding the authors name and website for each plugin in the decription of the download.
We already have that at http://mods.mybboard.net/mods
Some licenses won't allow you to redistribute.
But why not link them to the download on the mods site as Bob suggested?
