My suggestion would be to not include this patch, and then release it
as a modpack as it was orignially intended (or it seems so from the quotes
Jeff forwarded), I can't see no good arguments for including a patch that
would "outlaw" FreeCIV in any countries (it's probably not just Germany),
the swastika is still politically loaded, and I think we shall avoid using it.

If we still would like fascism in the game (and it doesn't conflict with 
any laws),
why not use the real "logo" for fascism, the swastika was something Hitler
took up (it's an old Roman symbol isn't it?), I'm referring to the axe and 
straws
(or something like that, can't really remember how it looks now)
