I think there are valid cases of including stuff into a preview which is not part of the submission itself. I have done this in the past when extending previous submissions. One example is http://opengameart.org/content/lpc-candy. It was designed to work with LPC stuff and I included some original LPC art to prove it. At the same time it was made for a challenge, the occasion of which mandated very permissive licensing. More permissive than what the original LPC art had.

Sorry, I should not have used the ad hyperbole. I apologize for the confusion it has caused. This is not about me being unsure whether the art is under some license. It is about how I can communicate to third parties that the art I redistribute is legit. Think of Debian copyright files (see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dreq.en.html#copyright).

And to clear another misunderstanding: I did not intend to suggest to change the submission process (In fact, automatically generating something which looks like a hand-written license grant kind of defeats the purpose.). I merely wanted to suggest a best practice.

You could make use of the actual example tileset? That's certainly unexpected. So we have another good point for (software) freedom: Allowing good things to happen that oneself does not think of.

I will add an explicit license grant for the tileset in a moment.

Good luck with your project.

One more request: Would you be so kind as to provide a written license grant? The reasons for me asking are detailed in http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/on-the-importance-of-citable-license-g...

I would like to use one of these sounds. Would you be so kind as to provide a written license grant? The reasons for me asking are detailed in http://opengameart.org/forumtopic/on-the-importance-of-citable-license-g...

Thank you for the additional licenses. I believe the original CC-BY-SA would have been sufficient for me to use the sounds, but it is always better to have more options.

Me asking for the source had several reasons. Determining whether I can actually redistribute under the GPL licenses was only one of them. Another one is that building upon the work (except for a few trivial operations) requires the source in the same way as it does for programs.

> the GPL is a poor fit for media files

I agree that the wording of the GPL makes it clear it was originally intended to be applied only to programs. But I disagree if you imply that the source requirement does not make sense for media files.

I think I will use these sounds for now but replace them eventually.

I just asked this for another sound of yours: I consider using this, could you provide the source?

I consider using this in a game. Am I right in assuming that the sound is synthetic? If so, could you provide the source?

That commission is a good idea, thank you. It is a while past that I played that game. Still I have some additional information that could help an artist. That is, if you decide to make it part of the commission.

- The dialog does mention that Chris and Phoebe wear the same (or very similar) headgear. So new graphics probably should keep it that way.

- I disagree about Chris and Sid having the same personality. I see Chris as a fighter and Sid as a technical nerd.

- Age: From my perception, Chris through Ursula are around 20, Krass 40 or up, Kline in his 30s. Crew I do not remember at all.

Disclaimer: This is not my commission, what I wrote here is not official unless onpon4 makes it so.
