JdB and I have written an article concerning the "illegal MLOD models issue".
News edited, new information at the end!
A few days ago a kind of earthquake has occurred unnoticed by all but the Modders of our community. Generally modders can learn how to model and create config files by using BIS samples and seeing how they are made, since there is very little public information and documentation.
Unfortunately only a very limited amount of these models have been released by BIS, so Synide, a modder, converted all BIS encrypted models to an editable format, called MLOD, to offer them to the modding community. He did this without BIS permission, so it was a kind of reverse engineering method, which is clearly forbidden in the Armed Assault EULA.
Recently BIS has made it clear that people that used the reverse engineered MLOD's should cease doing this immediately, including sites that host the results of this breach of the EULA. As you may have noticed we just opened this section on our website a few days ago and were forced to close it. Our action to propose these models to the “masses” actually kind of started the whole issue.

EDIT:
We have a great new...
Placebo shown our article to Marek Spanel and he confirmed us that BIS is going to release all their MLODS models for being used by the Arma community, we just still do not know if it will really be all models, nor how they will be released, where and when!
Quoting Placebo:
They key issue is really that when we release them we include full and proper documentation such as EULA which clearly states what they can and cannot be used for, whereas unathorised releases tend not to include such "protective" documentation.
It means that, once more, BIS will find a way to continue supporting the community, like they used to do since years!
