Well, not sure how to convince you ( and others ) otherwise. Any copyrights are assigned to the Nonprofit organization and I can tell you that as one of the officers of that organization I will never vote for going comercial. We've already turned down several offers. The flip side of this is that we want unique content that is not used elsewhere. Now I can see how people can consider this to be somewhat against the OSS idea which is why we have the seperate stuff for art and other content. I know that people have already forked our engine for their own projects ( using their own content ) and I will fully support them in that.
I'm not sure where to even to begin here. First
the name is PlaneShift not planescape. Second the content is licensed under a different license because it offers both the team and the person some protection. If somebody later on decides 'I don't want that model in game anymore' then we are screwed.
Many artists want their stuff not opensource so they can control how it is used. I suppose you think that if I write a book with OpenOffice I should have to give that away for free as well?
As for the last stuff I hope by 'brass' you mean the sink or something. What you claim has *never* been the policy and nobody from the team has ever said anything like that.
