Most of these points in the Terms of Service were standard points legal counsel has put in.

When you publish addons using our services, you retain ownership of your original work. However, by contributing these addons, you grant us a non-exclusive, perpetual license to use, modify, and distribute them. This means we can use your addons, but you still own them. This allows us to do things like distribute the addons to other users of the platform. This could include features like allowing other users to download or access the addons through the platform's interface.

Similarly, any guides or videos you create remain your property. By sharing them on our platform or using our services, you grant us the right to use and share them as described, but we do not claim ownership. We also do not claim revenue from your YouTube content.

I believe most of the terms are fair, though I will admit that I question the decision that you may distribute them without attribution. The majority of addon developers do not do because they wish to become influencers or famous. If I understand the terms correctly the RoR development team may more or less "take" a UI pack and distribute it as the new "default" UI without acknowledging the author. Now I do not believe you would do something like this but it is quite strange that the possibility is there because I don't see how attribution would have a legal decrement for you.

Man I wish they went commercial.

Nothing fancy (i know how many of you RoRaholics would bitch about a sub), just a donation shop like so many wow servers.

If we want to see RoR actually evolve at a good pace the development team needs to be committed; this means SOME sort of funding. Last I checked, no supermarket or electricity bill gives 100% discount because "I work on the only warhammer server".

Oh well, one can dream.
