OK i what to make a mod that is payed for and runs on my own server will will need a good modelist and a good coder when it is made they will have a % of what i sell the mod for the price of the mod will go on how good it is and how good the graphic are you will get a % of what i sell it for and how my testers rate it from command and conquer tiberium war and Kane's wrath from ea
rating 5 and above is better than ea command and conquer 4 is below ea command and conquer i have 3 testers and everyone that helps me make the mod will get it free and 3 of you friends will get free aswel.

sounds like a great idea.
i want you to make a mod for me and then i'll sell it and might give you a percentage if some people think it's any good.

Punctuation isn't an english-only thing.

Everytime I heard such excuse, I am reminded

do you have any skills or a profession that would contribute greatly to your own project and make people think about joining it?

While the Spring engine is released under the GNU GPL, you don't need to release your mod under this license as the mod data is not a integral part of the engine.
Still, we encourage you to do so.
Please keep in mind that if you don't release your mod under the GPL you are legaly not allowed to take content from other mods that are released under the GPL.
If you do your entire mod will be 'GPLed'
Just an FYI.
Also, with the prevalence of free mods for Spring, and the entire spirit of Spring and what it stands for - do you really think there's gonna be a lot of people paying you to play your mod? Especially at a price like 30 pounds, for which you could get a pretty decent, big-name game less than a year old?

Well, he played last years's EA PoS, so even even if lacks any technical kills, he sure is in a position to command a team of coder and artist.

But you never played any Total Annihilation! Muhahaha!
By the way, if you can't spell, you can't mod. Even the easiest form of modding, stats sheets tweaking, requires you to follow a rigid syntax.
