  • Hey all, The ODF desperately needs textures, and Im not sure if we need permission to use them or not, so Ive come to ask. :)

    Our project is GPL and we are wondering if we can use the Nexuiz textures for some of our maps. Thanks!

  • As long as your map is GPL as well, this is no problem. In fact, it's kinda the whole idea of the GPL license ;)

    Ah yeah, just making sure. We are just being extra careful. :wink:

    Which is always a good idea...

    IIRC everything that is official part of Nexuiz (i.e. contained in nexuiz252.zip) must be GPL, so you can rely on that.

    For unofficial maps (e.g. those downloaded from a server while playing) other licenses could apply. In that case you might want to check for licensing information in the pk3 file or contact the author.
