Permissions
I have now reached the stage with my fledging route where I am starting to address the lineside scenery, e.g. bridges and level crossings. There are quite a few generic objects to use but also a few gaps - such as level crossing barriers. Is it okay to use items from the existing/supplied routes or is it necessary to request permission (bearing in mind the work will be distributed on a freeware basis)?

I hope I'll be right with the following statement, otherwise someone please correct me.
@Vern:
You can use objects from the official Zusi distribution and from official add-ons for your own route, if you agree to the same conditions of object usage for the publication of your route: the usual Zusi freeware add-on handling.
If you intend to modify objects you should ask the original author for permission. As I understand the rules, you don't need to ask the original author if you do not modify an object. Nevertheless, I'm sure most authors - if identifiable - will appreciate a notification message.

only links to other lines (folder "Strecken" and its subfolders) should be avoided (copy objects to you folder then and mention the author in your readme or send him an email).
The objects located outside the "Strecken"-folder can be used without any request and needn't be copied.

Yes,Carsten Hölscher hat geschrieben:they are in "Signale\Bahnuebergaenge\..."
barriers of level crossings are route signals in Zusi. The principles of their working are explained in part 3 of the Route Editor's manual.
