Just read all the mails on this - does sound kinda dodgy. I guess you
could tell him that we don't want the old gfx, although if he wants to
join as an artist (and is aware of the GNU concept) I wouldn't mind. If
he prefers to make his own online game using our engine - then fine
(since it's GNU we couldn't stop him if we wanted to :P), just point out
that it'll take a while until the gme has any kind of online features
and battles / magic / items and we have no plns to rush it - it'll be
ready when it's ready.
