Okay thanks just wanted some clarification.

If a mod developer declares their mod a resource or open source and you wanted to use some aspects of their mod how would you go about doing so, so you won't violate Nexus rules?

So I'm new to modding and I've created a weapons overhaul mod called Weapon Realism Overhaul. One thing I'd like to do is make some patches for popular weapon mods to make their stats line up with the new overhauled vanilla weapons. I won't be changing anything else but the .esp so the patches won't include the actual textures, models, etc but I wanted to know can I do this and what kind of permissions if any would I need to be allowed to do this?
