a question on fixing conflicting plugins

[Crim, The Red Thunder]

if you find 2 plugins that conflict with each other, is it legal to create a 'fixed' version where they will no longer conflict?

 

(Giving the original author due credit of course)

 

I ask because i see a way to fix some conflicts in between certain plugins... and i NEED them both at this point, as i need items/info from both of them... Is it easier to create a seperate .esp file that fixs the error, but requires the original as well? Or is easier to alter the original? And how do i go about altering the original, and saving the changes to it, rather then too a separate file?

For your own use and not to release? Yes, completely legal.

 

To release? Get permission from the authors before you even think about it.

well of course i would get permission from the author before doing such a thing... however, the issue at the moment is for my own use. I do appreciate the advice, and i thank you, but i still wonder if it is better to alter the original, or to create a seperate .esp that fixes the problem... (Keeping in mind that only use these for myself, and NEVER for release...)
