Hi,

I've been in recent contact with evillair regarding CC-BY-SA by sending a message through http://www.evillair.net/v2/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3 .

Evillair doesn't want commercial use.

My textures can be freely used in free games.
All commercial uses need to have my permission.

Some special licenses are granted for some games so they can use my textures to help them out.
Ok, but I want clarification, so I ask this:

Even in the case of those special cases you mentioned for some games?
Quote from: evillair
Yes, they ask me if they can use them and we come up with an arrangement.
In the copyright file revision 747[[0]] evillair's license exception was removed. In the copyright file revision 741[[1]] you can find evillair's copyright notice whose work is licensed under the http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ license.
Maybe add evillair's notice back to the copyright file?

That file is kinda funny, as it doesn't say which bit cover which assets.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

Doesn't say which assets are covered by which license.
Does tremulous even use any of the dudes stuff these days?

Just found in the map map-niveus-1.1.0.pk3. If you open that file, then check the texture /textures/niveus/e6girdergrate.jpg . It's called e6 because it's evillair's '6th set'[[0]] of textures .

I hope I'm wrong... and that evillair told me the things quoted above, because he forgot he had agreed with the Tremulous team to relicense these textures under CC-BY-SA 2.5 .

Yes Repatition, I know about atcs, but I don't have any examples at the moment to show.

Ok, I'll release them under this license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/
for your project. :)
I'll retain my current license for my website though.
Thanks
