True and not true. Mods are copyrighted works. So in that regard, false. However, the "idea" as it relates to the functionality of the mod is easily copied and short of a patent, cannot be protected, so in that regard you are correct.

The question is whether or not the person who sells the cheaper copy is willing to support it and maintain it over the long haul. There comes a price break point at which the effort outweighs the gain.

But, yeah... preacher... choir... can I get an Amen?!
