Permissions of use.
Which kind of license does this map have?
All rights?
Can it be modified or parts of it be used in other maps?

Also, i am setting up a CS:GO server in a couple days: Is it ok if i host it there to play it already?
It will be private at the beginning, but i could make it public at any moment, thats why i ask.

If you agree i would like this one to be the first map i add, out of 9 max.

Now details about the server you can just "TL;DR" :)

I already got the vps approved, static ip for the domain approved, apache/mysql/ssh/mail/ftp/CMS and security measures all installed, now i just need to create the webpage, set up the CS:GO server and test how much stress can it handle.
Specs are: 100Gb up/down, 10tb month, 1 core, and 10gb redundant storage, i hope enough for downloads and gaming of competitive and 10vs10 casual. It costs 2.50euro a month, its expandable to 2/4/8 cores and more everything without having to move to another server and its placed in paris i think. I get 30ms ping from spain.
Just to give more info, the .PW domains are discounted to 3 euro first year on namecheap.com, includes whois protection for free. The hosting is ovh.ie

no idea what you mean. I believe everything you need to know is in the Steam ToS

I think he's just asking whether he can use your map on a server.

You're the first person i've ever seen who asks for permission to use someone else's map. I wish there were more people like you :P

It should be necessary to state clearly the kind of license applied to every item posted, by default non comercial-derivative-permission of use, or else whatever the creator decides. That would solve many problems, given that something as silly as a crate can create a big fuzz if the map is used in some operation (comercial purposes). On the other hand, if the item/map piece/whoknows at the moment of publishing and when the second (map) creator took it, it was completely free of rights (some people likes to see his crate in every map), there would not be any problem.

In short, stating the legal status of any piece of intelectual property from the beginning would solve any doubt. Skins for weapons average 40,000$ of revenue to each creator, maps much more.

When money is in the stake, you wish everything had been well done from the start.
