[Freecol-developers] Background images and illustrations.

[<sti...@st...>]

Hi!

   I have found several good illustrations suitable for the game in both colors and B/W on the "David Rumsey Map Collection"-site, so I took the liberty of asking them for permission to use the images. I have added my e-mail and the reply:


 
   I am one of the developers in a project named "FreeCol". We are trying to make a free turn-based strategy game, where the objective of the game is to colonize America.
   This site contains a lot of maps which may be suitable as backgroud images in the game. In addition the maps have a lot of good illustrations we could use.
  
   We would like to get a permission to use the images from your collection. Since we are making a free game and are a group of volunteers, we cannot offer you more than a reference to where we got the images from.
