Hello, I'm part of the FreeDesktop Games group and the Debian Games Team.
First, thanks for working on the great Parallel Realities games :) There was some recent debate on the license used on the games data. >From what we could gather, most of the sounds and musics were picked from the Internet and so may not be freely distributable - but several people are interested in providing replacements for the sounds, as well as in packaging versions without sound meanwhile, this is being fixed already. So we are wondering about all the other data, that Parallel Realities crafted: the game levels, the texts, the 3D models, the textures, the cutscenes, etc. Are they released under the GNU GPL, like the game engine? There is a note on the website stating that data is non-free, and we're unsure whether this applies to these data too. Could you clarify? Perhaps we can work on a list of files, or we can use categories of works like "everything except the musics and sounds". Ideally, we'd like you to mention it in the source releases and on the website. Alternatively, mentioning it in this discussion while keeping the mailing list in Cc: would help too. By the way, our question concerns Blob Wars, Blob and Conquer, StarFigher, Virus Killer, but also The Legend of Edgar, which is newer. All the best with your games and books :) -- Sylvain _______________________________________________ Games mailing list Games@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/games
