DanielH was in holiday some time, maybe he has missed it in the lot-of-mails

Such questions should better be directed to the VS list.

I generally think that _all_ mail related to Vegastrike (unless private or 
containing big attachments) should go to one of the lists, so that everyone 
(especially me and my bigmouth :-))) can comment on that.

Didn't know that - you should have said earlier!

Well, at least you should get in sync with cvs - and then you can send me 
what's missing/not working.

Hmm - that's a good question.

The source code is GPLd, that's clear.

But what about the textures?

I'd prefer them to be GPLd - what do the authors of the textures and models 
have to say about that?

I think 'sharing' of textures/models is rather useful for us - and all 
others, cause there's still a lack of free models/textures.

In any way - don't use anything that's in VS 0.1.3 or before, or any data 
that was in the cvs.

I've cleaned up the cvs some days ago, and stripped it of all models/textures 
with questionable origin - now, there *should* only be free models/textures 
there.

Grin :-))

I'm currently wrapping some of the TuxFleet textures into a tarball, maybe 
something of that is useful.

I'll make it downloadable when I've got time.
