Pretty sure this violates the TOS from facepunch if players don't own the Hazy skin?

1)
as i know - in according to Facepunch license agreeement it's restricted anyhow to
decompile & use the studios code without having a personal approve.
but without such reverse engineering actions it's impossible to implement any more or less difficult plugin(s),
so 99.99% of plugins' developers are .. ?? who ??

maybe don't make plugins at all ?

2)
there are a lot of similar plugins which temporary providing skins' access.
some kind of: "summer DLC(s)", or "wallpapers" ..

those are "bad" too ?

3)
the current plugin is not providing the DLC(s) access for any steam account, it's just temporary uses the skins
only when people playing on servers with the plugin is installed/activated.

..
in general, the current plugin's logic may be treated as free 'AD' for the fantastic skins made by the Facepunch studios.
just letting people to test the skins before buying them.

..
@Death
your opinion ?

i am still confused about this situation, but anyway updated: "License:" section
 

Servers are prohibited from granting players access to paid skins or DLC they do not legitimately own. Facepunch enforces these policies through specific server hosting guidelines:No Unowned Skins or DLC: Server owners cannot bypass Steam purchases by providing players with unowned premium skins or official DLC (e.g., via plugins like Skinbox). Universal Access: Players must be able to freely access their validly purchased Facepunch DLC across all servers, and servers must allow them to use what they own.Consequences: Servers that violate these guidelines and grant free access to paid content face delisting or being blacklisted by Facepunch. Allowed Exceptions: Servers can still use plugins to restrict or reset custom skins (like the /noskins command), and servers can restrict custom content that isn't official Facepunch DLC. These ToS updates primarily impact modified community servers. . I had a similar plugin that used the hazy's and had to restrict it and do a player checks so only players that had the DLC skin could use the feature. It kind of defeated the whole plugin and why it was created. I still use it although it is much more limited as most players don't own all those skins or DLC's. Those new TOS from face punch took away some creativity from us but we get by. Most of the skinning plugins now have to check if you own the skins and If the skin in question is accepted as an official skin.   Here is a good tool. https://umod.org/plugins/player-dlc-api

Pay 10$ to get your server blacklisted. 

Nice!
