LEKMod has started a patreon to raise money for continued work on their multiplayer civ V mod. For those not in the know, LEKmod is an offshoot of the older NQmod which is a complete overhaul mod that prioritizes civ V multiplayer balance.
The modders have lifted dozens of entire custom civs (design, code, art, dialogue) from the civ 5 modding community without attribution, permission, and definitely not compensation. Though they aren't selling their mod -- so this might not technically run afoul of Firaxis' End User License Agreement -- this is pretty obviously a bad look. Some civ V modders are trying to document and itemize everyone who had their work appropriated in order to present a unified case to Paypal/Patreon against hosting the campaign.
Thought I would bring this to people's attention in case people were interested.
