Alright, I've since slept and the thread exploded.
Kaus has created a new account (I didn't realize new accounts that need approval could also PM members, this is something we need to fix), to 'explain' the parts that he stole and the parts that are his. The thing is, he's still not admitting completely what he stole/edit and what is 100% his (you really don't fool me, I've seen plenty of the artwork before, I just can't link to it directly). Therefor, I really do not care for his explanations and his apologies. Also, it's against our rules to ban-evade, so that account is banned as well.
Instead of listening to a liar and an art thief about what's his work and what isn't - you should simply remove the tiles from your game and be done with it. It's unfortunate that many people have been using it and a lot of work is lost, but it's better to remove it all and be safe and respectful towards the artists he simply "google it" from, because they had no idea their work was being used as well.
If you're using them commercially, you must stop using them at once, as you can get into legal trouble.
You're not going to get in trouble for continuing to use his tiles in your game - as long as this remains non-commercial - but it is highly disrespectful towards the artists whose art got stolen. And you simply don't know which parts are his and which parts aren't. So I kindly ask you to stop using them, but there's no punishment if you don't. Please don't listen to his explanations either, he has proven himself to be a liar and he still won't be 100% truthful.
The best thing for Kaus to do right now would be to issue refunds to all the people that bought a subscription from him, and to never set foot in our forum again.
For the people who are now stuck with finding resources to replace them, Avery made a nice list, and I will try and get more MV resources released as well.
