I realize he should have given credit; I'm not defending that. The point is permission, not credit. How many fangames do you know that actually ask permission for the sprites/models/sounds they use? Even still, those that make their own most likely don't ask for IP rights before making them. And as Jitter said, they're just placeholders until he can get his own. Why bitch about something that may not even be in the final product?
If everyone who made resources or owned the IPs were as restrictive as the guys arguing against Jitter here are, then SSF2 wouldn't even exist in the first place. I still find it ironic that this argument is even coming up on a network who's major content is ripped assets from other games, and the rest of the content is fanart, be it derived or original. You made a game; your resources will be ripped and used. There's no harm in using them for freeware games. If it was a problem, as I just said, then fangames wouldn't even exist, so either grow up or shut up.
