Where can you actually see the distribution permissions?

[iwonderif]

If you upload a new mod you have a bunch of stuff to click like 'Users can upload my files to other sites' or 'Users can use assets contained in my files in their own files'. Yet if i click 'Permissions' in the 'Action' tab under the endorsements, i only see 'This author has not provided any additional notes regarding file permissions' and that nobody was credited.

 

Where can i actually see if I'm allowed to use assets etc.? If i have to ask people personally, what is the point of those options?

 

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I tried to google it but didn't find anything.

If it's not there or posted in the description - assume you can't. You can try contacting the modder directly but most will put it in at least one of those places and possibly their readme as well.

It's in the "actions" bar on the file page, underneath the file stats. It's listed as "PERMS".

I checked that but it only lists thing from the 'Permission notes' field, and not what you selected in the drop-down menu.

 

Edit: Nevermind, it's because i and other mod authors left 'I would like to specify my own permissions in the "Permission instructions" text box below and not use the drop-down menus' selected.

 

Thanks
