Please do not make a game that is set in the world of Wesnoth that is not Open Source. We have spent many man-years of development time producing a high quality Open Source product. I think it would be sad and unfair to our developers if there was a non-Open Source product which caused confusion about what Wesnoth is and the principles of its core development team. > > Some of the graphics (the world maps and some units) of the Wesnoth > project could be very helpful - but ...

I think it would be legal for you to use the images as long as you acknowledged their source and that they are under the GPL and so forth. However, I would question the wisdom of not open sourcing such a product...
