GNU GPL license

Post by nerdy »

Hello egoboo comunity,

Sorry if this is not the right section, I was not sure where to post this. I was wondering if the GNU GPLv2 license of egoboo also covers the musical art of the game, as I really like 'zippy.ogg'. I would like to re-use it for another project, but I'm not sure if I can. I tried to contact its composer 'Adam Frechette', but to no success so far :( Does anyone know his current email adress? Also Is there any media-related redistribution policy I've missed while browsing the game files ?

Thanks in advance, regards, nerdy.

EDIT:
found his mail adress here http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=3908 in case anyone needs it :)

I believe that this music was originally distributed as a music for Neverwinter Nights, and is "free to use."

The GPL just restricts downstream use of assets distributed with egoboo. If you go to the NWN site on ign and do a search for Adam Frechette, you will get a link of all the tunes he has on there. I think you can download get all of them in 3 separate music packs.
