I don't know exactly what's going on here, but I guess it's still about a modified version of cessna-fire.osg from the OSG demo data package? Last time I checked I didn't find a license or copyright notice for those files, but I assume that they are under the same license as OSG itself, and that certainly allows redistribution of modified files. The license has to remain the same in modified copies (unless it allows license changes, like "public domain"). An existing copyright notice has to be kept unchanged, too, but everyone who makes changes *can* add his/her copyright. Within FlightGear there are usually no copyright notices in single data files, and it's a kind of unwritten law that everyone can take e.g. a model file or texture and just use it/modify it. It's a kind of common property. It's nice to add a comment in some README file, though, such as "Thanks to Foo BAR for his wonderful pilot model.". Is this about that "french developer" accusing you to have "stolen" fire.osg from him, which he has "stolen" from the OSG data package? I find this rather bizarre. > When i [...] came back to CVS (after the Crusader misunderstanding) [...] While that "incident" was unfortunate, I think it should quickly be forgotten. You have contributed several very nice aircraft and a carrier since then, and there's no doubt that you are a valuable contributor. And I hope you keep being one. As I said before, I even think Curt should give you CVS write access already. > That resulting atmosphere is not good for the community, is not > good for me. Sure, but hey, we are just simulating that part of reality really well, too: rivalry and arguments between aircraft manufacturers. That shouldn't be a reason to leave. Enjoy it instead -- it's a part of the deal. ;-) m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
