Be especially careful of free textures'' (or free sounds'' or free graphics'') sites. Although these would appear at first to be okay to use, many are free for non-commercial use only.'' One of the things we want to be able to do is put this in GNU/Linux distributions (which can be sold or developed commercially).

Well, he says nothing about "non-commercial use only", but especially notes that the assets are "Royalty Free" (meaning no royalties from commercial use). And he doesn't even ask for credit. He also adds " You can use them for whatever you want." This means that license is equivalent to public domain and therefore these assets can be shipped with Linux or FreeBSD or TempleOS or any OS you come up with.


The artworks are of relative low resolution, but there is nothing some Photoshop can't fix.

I.e it is order of magnitude easier to retouch low resolution asset than to create one from scratch, especially if that lava texture just fits in already.

If someone wants to use these, please contact the guy first for a more solid clarification on how the resources are licensed. It would help if a link to Freedoom's COPYING file is included, as those are the maximal terms the resources would have to be cleared under :-)

It looks like he intends people to just use it for whatever, but getting a declaration of either public domain or a license will be required before Freedoom can use it.

besides freedoom is trying to be a resource, we cant be a resource if we just take other work that already exists instead of increasing the resource pool
