When you install the game, you are asked to agree to the terms of the game's license. Part of this license reads:
Here, and in the AC sublfolder /docs/, is a text file (package_copyrights.txt) which contains:
What I'm saying is, if you "remix" an original map, and this "remix" is contrary to the release-license associated with that map, you are not only breaking the contract you agreed to (the license), but you are breaking copyright law.
Quote:This game consists of many different packages with different licenses. The ENTIRE AssaultCube package MAY be redistributed as mentioned above. But if you wish to redistribute/use/modify it in a different way you will need to adhere to the licenses for the packages that you are using.(my emphasis)
