for .svg tire pattern. As it stands, there is no consensus in our small
community on the name and texture changes (and I'm not the only one who
is not quite happy with some of the changes). If some compromise were
reached on this (e.g. choose better name replacements and provide a
user-configurable option to revert to old names and textures), then I
could fairly easily organize a new release and request for a version
bump in Debian.

Since I really would like to see the new Trigger Rally additions into
common repositories I want to solve this disagreement fast. As far as I
got it the main concern is the realism of the new names and textures
(brand logos). I hope nobody insists on keeping explicitly protected
brand names and logos if we can get something similar enough. Do I get
that right?

This can't be very hard to resolve since for sure qubodub doesn't insist
on specific logos or names. In my view our disagreement should be easily
solvable with some new name suggestions and some altered textures which
might get closer to what some company brands actually look like.

Liviu, is there something in particular you would want a close proximity
to? I could easily do fake brand logos looking quite similar to real
ones without getting close enough to any specific brand to cause actual
legal problems.

Do you have any suggestions for car names?

* Mitsubishi Evo (Tex Evaluate Pi)
* Seat Cordoba (Rotor Cordon TRI)
* Ford Focus (Iron Fox Mark II)

Please try to help me solving this little detail. It would be a shame to
get completely stuck with this - especially because we are just so few
people...
