I like GPL, except I just wouldn't want anyone to be able to apropriate them 
and lie about their autorship; but I have no idea about those "proper 
attribution" licenses versions, it gets very complicated already. 
Plus I red in sourceforge rules, that by publishing a project on it's 
webzone you agree to make it GPL, so it seems that at least as long as it's 
there, all the stuff is GPL, unless of course this rule doesn't apply to  
multimedia. 
Will you grant us the permission to select some of the

Sure, I don't want to stop or block Free Col. To the contrary. 
My utimate aim however, is not to make some "Misiulos" graphics set, I'm 
rather
interested in developing and making the best default set of graphics 
possible (I'll put my pride on the shelf this time), it'll be great if 
others like the author of the current set agreed to colaborate with me in 
this; If 
you look on FeeCiv, it has got loads of graphics sets  both isometric and 2D 
but only 2 of them, maybe 3 look decent; the rest is just amateurish filler. 
 
And I think 2 maybe 3 graphics sets, but REALLY good ones is all Free Col 
will ever need; please notice the commercial strategic games usually have  
only one set of graphics, and they rarely provide alternatives, if anything 
they rather leave open doors for users to mod them, like the Civ series. 
And FreeCol graphics needs all the help it can get.
