should we "use" "new" maps from other servers?

i have a question, back in time it was "normal" to "steal" maps from other servers, no matter if it was dm, ctf, br, inv etc.
but noone really cared due to them becoming more public/popular.

since there are only a view handfull servers left, every now and then a player mentions this or that map is from that server,
so, if they (the maps) are good and not on the monster madness server, should we "pick" them?

for example i found a good ex-bombing-run map on DW-server , much looking like beeing changed for invasion,
called "DM-BarnBrawl-Christmas_Edition-V1",

i think that map is worth to beeing uploaded

All stuff created with the editor / compiled with the Unreal Engine is the property of Epic Games Inc, it says in the EULA. So, yes, you can host stuff from other servers, just as any server can host my stuff without asking. It's still copywritten to the creator, but not owned by them.

Most map editors I know borrow textures, or meshes from other maps. So yeah it's totally fine for us to upload new maps as long as they run stable.
Some of the maps on the voting list now were taken from other servers! :rofl2:

Well Amy sorry it's a little late for the Christmas season but DM-BarnBrawl-Christmas_Edition-V1 is now on the map rotation.

If you see any other maps to add to the server let me know.
