Hype can be bad.

Surprises can be good.

I've read that SCS has some licensing issues with the Millau Viaduct...

Why would you need licenses for public buildings.....?

[ETS2-User]

No idea why, but it's true that you need licenses for certain landmarks.

That doesn't make sense to me, a bridge is a public building.. It's not like it's a secure zone or something..

Unless the architect (or the author who planned the building) doesn't want his creation to be represented anywhere else (copyright).

Ps : as a non-profit organization Promods could be granted the right to picture the bridge isn't it ?

Right... It still seems non-sense to me, but okay.. Rules are rules.

I see it as the risk of designing a public building.

ProMods doesn't have to ask for any official licenses because our mod is free.

Indeed, and that's how it works on certain countries, like France. SCS needs to buy the license for the bridge if they'll going to implement it to the game, and most importantly, to the France DLC.

I somehow remember that this was due to some architechtual thing...
