Democracy is dead. In today's world of overflowing money, the one with the largest pockets will win.

In Mexico, we claim to have an institution dedicated to fight Vote Fraud, but despite innumerable amounts of proof that PRI (Political Party) bought votes, and people purposedly miscounted votes, or nulled them, they've done absolutely nothing.

It doesn't matter the system, analog or digital. They (The ones with power) impose whoever they want. I've given up trying.

I'm just saying that my interpretation of the GPL may be wrong and should not be taken as legal advice.

From what I understand, if you use GPL Art on a non-free game, and redistribute the gpl art with the game, you're in violation of the gpl license.

I thought the standard slashdot post contained the disclaimer "I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice".

If the art is GPL, the code must be GPL as well, (which means it can't be closed).
The art is dual-licensed though, which means it's up to you to choose CC-By-SA 3 or GPLv3, at your convenience.

If you choose to use the GPL license for art, all further modifications to said art will be done under the GPL License.

If someone were to grab your modified art, they'd have to use the GPL License as well.

On the other hand, CC-By-SA Means that you can use it on a closed-source game, however the art being CC-By-SA Means that your assets (and any modifications you make to them) can be used by other game devs.

Just because the sprites are RPG style doesn't mean you have to write an RPG. You could easily make a TCG (I'm working on one), or a Shmup featuring dragons instead of ships and killing villagers, or a Tactical RPG, or a bomberman-like game.

Point is that the sprites are useful for a lot of genres, you just have to be creative.

If anyone cares, I've started a Google Detox, and will slowly start quitting their services.

I wrote a bit about it on my site, http://k3rnel.net/2011/07/24/starting-the-google-detox-rsslounge/ and in fact have already quit G+ and Buzz and all (And gave them a link to this Slashdot post as the reason for doing so).

Leaving Gmail will be a gigantic pain in the ass, as most of my other online accounts link to that email address, but I'll get over it in the next few weeks.

Look for them under "The Fedora Project".
Sudo support for SSSD.
Robotics Suite
Fedora Medical Packages
Revert to Snapshot for Ext4
KDE Plasma Dependency and
Fedora Events System

Disclaimer: I'm the mentor for the Fedora Events System :P

The popular Greasemonkey Firefox extension (Which I believe is built-in on Google Chrome) lets the end user modify the javascript/css running on the site to the user's desires. There's a huge database on UserScripts.org that lets you browse site-specific mods to Twitter, Facebook and yes, Gmail.

Another very popular extension is "Better GMail 2", which basically packages some greasemonkey scripts into a single extension.
