You cannot distribute proprietary files simply because you converted them to another format, they are still copyrighted. If you are thinking of an installer for people that own the original CDs, then yes, you can convert them to whatever you feel like, or simply use the originals. I personally think this is not such a great idea, though. Not all developers (and even fewer users) own the CDs, and basically you would need to have two versions of engine - one for using the proprietary files, and another for whatever free content they are replaced with. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFEt3ZztOe9mov/y4RAkLnAJ9V2nWJIopUg6Wy279NtD0mW8VJmwCdGjtQ skrvGlS7yFFyQwDgmVT+LI4= =8Q8C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
