Ahh, think I may have found a stumbling block if not
the stumbling block. There are server licences.txt files in the art directories. I glazed over those before looking at the hard code for the reason...
Textures from http://www.mayang.com/textures/
* "License: These textures are Copyright \xa9 Mayang Murni Adnin, 2001-2006.
They have all been taken by our own cameras or created by ourselves"
* "Use: They are free to use for all uses, whether commercial or non-commercial
(you may incorporate them into your work with no requirement to pay us any
licensing fee etc). It would be nice if you could credit us."
* "Sell: You may not sell any of these textures."
* "Redistribute: You may redistribute (give/send to somebody else/display on
a web site) up to 30 of these textures together, but no more. You must credit
this website as the original source (tell them about us)."
Textures from http://www.cgtextures.com
* "License: You may not sell or distribute any of these textures, use of these
textures is only allowed under the following conditions:
* Private or commercial use in 2D or 3D computer graphics and printed media.
* Incorporation in computer games, 3D models.
* Selling 3D models bundled with modified versions of the textures is allowed.
* It is not allowed to sell or distribute any of these textures (either separate
or in the form of texture packs.)"
It allow UFO:AI to do as it pleases with it, but I'm not sure it's a 100% kosher with the GPL. Not a sure deal breaker for one of Fedora's package submission requirements, by a hairs breath from one.
Anyone have a history behind this?
Edit: Just came from there, btw, nothing concrete yet, just burning the candle at both ends.
