This is definitely a “release”. He gave credit where credit is due, and uploaded (in my opinion) a fantastic and well made re-texture for a popular FiveM resource. Think of it as uploading a texture pack for a creator’s vehicle on popular websites like GTA5-Mods or the LSPDFR website. No need to get your panties in a twist for something so many people have done prior to this.
Because my server uses the same cars with different skins. (For me) the Taurus will only use one livery at a time, so when I made them, I just skipped over it, mainly because I wasn’t planning on releasing them
