Hi,

Just a few comments:
- Art, clip or otherwise, is -not- program code. Huckleberry Finn is
but it's software. It's not Free Programs but Free *Software*. Free
programs without
free data is useless because you then still can't fullfill the freedoms.
in the Public Domain and still I think most would argue that
"improving" on it would be foolish. I've had this discussion with
I don't believe Huckleberry Finn is in PD, and even when this argument
doesn't
make any sense.
It's the right nto modify software, not whether it makes sense of not or
whether
you'll do it.
Q: What's the impact of FOSS projects in art heavy computer games?
What's the impact in art light kernels?
A: Only game engines that contain no art are FOSS. You all know the
Not true. There's games with free images.
- It's very common to license different parts of a work under
different licenses. Nothing stops us from licensing the code under
LGPL and the clip art under some other license (CreativeCommons,
PD/nochange, specific).
Yes, right, but making it not FOSS makes the need for people to have it rip
out...
It's Software, after all.
The next action is to figure out how to integrate the changes Kami
made into the main tree. He is obviously doing something that is
widely requested, as Daniel already clearly pointed out.
I already made suggesstions to that which KAMI didn't reply to (i.e.
you should also
add the images gto the source, not just the gallery files embedding
those images).
Regards,
Rene
