Dekima, that is the zlib license. It refers to the source code ONLY. Don't just post it here uncommented to make others believe they are free to do whatever they want with everything in the package.
AC is opensource not as in "I can change everything" but in that the source code is freely available and useable. The media is a whole diffrent story.
The media has a mix of all sorts of licenses, from restrictive to almost PD. You'd know if you had taken the time to read /docs/package_copyrights.txt
Besides, those quotes you use mean something ENTIRELY diffrent than you think they mean. There is a _profound_ diffrence in an artist copying (for practice reasons), studying and being influenced by all others before him, and someone who paints a mustache on the monalisa, to put it bluntly.
"Some of us can only participate by working off what has already been done."
All of my models are CC - here you have a fine oppertunity to do this. But this doesn't mean every map should be free to change AND be distributed. It's perfectly fine for people to edit an exsisting map when they are learning the editor - whether it's fine to distribute them is the author's choice and noone else's.
