I'm totaly out of this licensing stuff, but i loved the mod and as I'm studing computer science I think i should be able to rework it. Would be a lot of work, but I need to be shure about this licens stuff. Maybe another way is, to rename the items a bit an the mod - creating a more or less "very similar" mod...

I'd suggest Factorio Re-extended as the name, so that fans of the mod know where it came from and are more likely to pick it up. Also, if/when you make the new mod, please post a link to it here, so that people will know that there's a new version.
