Notes

Worst case is that after git transition we'll keep these files in separate branch. NEUTRAL.PAL - this is palette file used for coloring interface to neutral player. And I don't know if such situation can happen to begin with. I think we can remove this file. As for its origin - file is extremely small so it is possible that it was created manually via hex editor. This description seems to match its format but I don't know of any tools that can be used to edit it: http://worms2d.info/Palette_file [^] UPDATE: No, we do recolor to neutral player in some cases. If you wish - I can replace binary with autogeneration or some text/json format. ico files - correct me if I'm wrong but ico files are just a bitmaps so it is not much different from formats like png. And even if not - those files should match icons we use on other systems (check client/icons directory). Ask Tow or Warmonger for details - those are Win-only files.

There is no need to overcomplicate this. The term "preferred form of modification" is subject to human judgement so just leave NEUTRAL.PAL as it is. Ico files: if there are no sources from which they are generated, then there is no reason to act as well. Just in case they were autogenerated or could be autogenerated from other files it would make sense to do so instead of shipping the result of the autogeneration. You can thus either close this now or wait until I report back the osx files situation after talking with stopiccot. Thanks a lot for your support once again :)

(0004620) josch (developer) 2014-03-24 07:10	Hi, stopiccot didnt respond yet so I had a quick look at the innoextract and unshield binaries inside the osx directory. The unshield binary contains the string "Unshield version 0.7. Copyright (C) 2003-2004 David Eriksson." and the innoextract binary contains the string "(C) 2011-2012 Daniel Scharrer <[email protected]>". These are probably strong indicators that the MIT licensed unshield by David Eriksson as well as the BSD licensed innoextract by Daniel Scharrer was used. Both licenses, MIT and BSD, require you to replicate the respective copyright notice and license text in all binary redistributions. So to not violate the MIT and BSD license and if you want to continue distributing both binaries, please replicate their respective copyright notices somewhere.
