When you install the game, you are asked to agree to the terms of the game's license. Part of this license reads:
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)

Here, and in the AC sublfolder /docs/, is a text file (package_copyrights.txt) which contains:
Quote:This file holds the copyright information for all packages/artwork included in AssaultCube ... Please respect the authors reserved rights and permissions.
followed by a list of official maps and their copyright holders. Copyright law, which applies in your country, stipulates that in order for you to alter or redistribute the author's work in any manner other than that indicated by the release-license, you would need the author's express permission.
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.
