Upload on Modrinth Please

I wanted to make a modpack on Modrinth, and as Cursforge made it, so their mods are forbidden on Modrinth's packs, I can't include this mod which would really like! I could attach it as an external file, but that way the author would not earn any money, and I feel that would be unfair. Having it on Modrinth would solve this.

To be more precise, CurseForge itself prohibits the use of its resources everywhere outside of CurseForge.
I know a lot of mods with the presence on Curse and Modrinth. Personal, I see no problem at this - but if some mods having different licenses, it's may a different topic.
I was not digging into the rules of Curse - but I see that just more from the protective way.
Reuploads are forbidden - it exist too many (trash) sites - the user is in the end not protected anymore.
Modrinth is a different case π

A bit offtopic, but CurseForge deliberately forbade Modrinth to use links to its mods in modpacks:
https://blog.modrinth.com/p/modpack-changes
It makes sense from the view of Curse.
(If they see their dominating role in danger, the steps coming fast - wish I could say the same about announced site features after over 2+ years.)
Personal - I don't care about mod packs, since I always create my own one. Having the mod(s) on Modrinth gives it access to a bigger audience π₯³
And it's great for Modrinths own mod pack-ecosystem - like @Rafii2198 was mentioning already.
Modrinth is currently the best Minecraft resource site - Curse is sleeping too much. But every site has ups and downs. (And Curse makes really nothing to get into competition against Modrinth, yet.)
But enough off topic, I love this mod and that's why I was recommending Modrinth ππΏ
Also, one thing we should add is that mc-publish
already used to publish the mod to CurseForge, supports Modrinth too, meaning little few changes would be needed to automatically support Modrinth!
