--- Concerning the license on the original data files: The literal meaning of the release statement is ambiguous in the case of the original data that is included in the released package. Despite several attempts to get a clarification, we have received no response. We have chosen to interpret the original release statement as putting the original data under a GPL license. Since in the absence of a license the released data could not be distributed, we find that interpreting the license for the data as being under the same license as the source to be the best interpretation to fit the intention behind the release. Eidos, the game publisher, has been informed of our interpretation of the license. --- What about the last paragraph? Shall we strip it or shall we do it? As I still hope that we will get a good answer from Alex after Christmas, I'd simply strip it. But then this leaves it really really uncertain in the legal part IMO... --Dennis
