Well, my aproach is currently to cut out the portions that have license problems. Its not a simple task and I'm sure it won't be effective in the long run. But... That's the only option apart from trying to get the code relicensed. > I'm very interested in helping to persuade the licence > owners of the dodgy material (raven/activision) to re-licence under the > GPL.

It would be great if you can get the code relicensed! That would solve the whole problem in one blow. Thanks! K. -- Lucas Wall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> .''`.
