It may be a "derived work" (whatever that is), but as long as it is not a derivative work, it is probably OK. I haven't looked at the source to this game, but generally artwork and sounds for a game are distributed as separate files. The game as a whole would be a collective work that contains many separate works: the game code, the individual works of art, and the individual works of sound. Distributing them all together would fall under the "mere aggregation" part of GPL. -- --Tim Smith _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
