Hey; I had a question concerning porting before I consider releasing a mod.

Imagine that a head model is in K1 and someone modifies it and releases the edited model for K1. Now, imagine if a person found the base head model (which seems to the same exact model, other than being in the TSL format) in TSL assets. If they were to use the replacer tool to add the changes from the edited K1 model to the TSL version, would it be considered porting?
