Interesting. I'm not sure why you think this. Only a minority of Freeciv
players
subscribe to the mailing list. The majority probably do visit the website.

We're in the clear as far the graphics go. I've posted in Cevo, and they have a
Public Domain license, so we can GPL the graphics or do whatever we want. As
for the graphics stolen from Civ 2, Daniel got them all. There were also some
infringing in Per's R-Hires. The Cevo2.tgz is not contaminated with unclean
graphics. And if someone was going to be sued, it would be Cevo. They are the
originators of this tileset :).
