Description says without explicit permission. I'm the part of the mod development team at candlelightSunset. Some members of the community would like to have this mod included in our server for next Season. Can we include it in our server modpack, entry would still show it has being the Ladders! mod in the global server mod (more a collection really but still showing up has a mod for the server).

Yes, was confused by this as well. "explicit permission" so I assume all mods going forward is a no.

Would like to point out to co' and everyone else: The Github source for this mod clearly uses GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 for licensing. Go a head an repack and redistribute as long as you're following the License.

I again, urge Project Zomboid community members to familiarize themselves with Licensing before making contradictory statements about what you can and cannot do with their mod.
