> Seriously, I guess they could force a cease and desist...but if there's no cash involved, then I don't see how they've been damaged by converting the textures. And once they got a look at the level to order a cease and desist, the thing would be done anyways. Do you think it's likely to be a problem? The only time I can remember Lucas Liscencing comming down on anybody was with the SW:Quake team, because JK was (supposedly) only a few months away from release at that point.
A DF to JK converter note:
You are doing something illegal if you distribute the DF textures with your level.
You *MUST* provide a tool that will extract them from the end user's original DF CD, *NOT* distribute them...
The Code Alliance team built those tools to allow *LAWFUL* owners of DF to
play DF levels in JK, mostly because we want to play them in multiplayer !
If you cannot respect that spirit, go do your wAr3Z stuff somewhere else and
stop talking about it on this message board. It is not a matter of LFL Licencing
"coming down" on someone, it is a matter of principle...
