Hi! The game maelstrom has been released with a completely new source code and is now licenced under GPL. The following text is included in the source tar ball: <quote> The source code to Maelstrom 3.0 and higher has been released under the GNU General Public License which can be found in COPYING.GPL.
The artwork and sounds used by Maelstrom are copyright Ambrosia Software (http://www.ambrosiasw.com) and may not be redistributed separately from the Maelstrom public GPL release. The following files must accompany any distribution of Maeltrom 3.0: Ambrosia_Software,_Inc._FAQ MaelstromGPL_press_release They can be found in the Docs directory. Copying, modifying, bundling, and burning to new ROMs is encouraged! </quote> The question is: is this non-free or not. The graphics are copyright of Ambrosia, but there is no statement that restricts anything more than stated above. Would it still be free if the artwork can only be distributed with the game?
