I'm reasonably sure that the iStore policies forbid people to upload free versions of software that is available for sale there, GPL or no GPL. It doesn't prevent distribution outside the iStore, though.

As far as I know, every one of the 6 main CC licenses is incompatible with the GPL (the FSF specifically mentions that CC-BY and CC-BY-SA are incompatible, at least), which is the license under which all Wesnoth art is published.
P.S. while CC-BY-NC is disqualified for not being a FOSS license, CC-BY and CC-BY-SA still qualify. The FSF specifically mentions that CC-BY-2.0 and CC-BY-SA-2.0 are incompatibly. CC-BY-3.0 and CC-BY-SA-3.0 are fine.

Only if you have it under a license that prohibits that. Otherwise it's fair game.

:twisted: If you do have a license that prohibits it, apple is very good about hammering down on the thieves. In fact, they'll even send everyone who bought it a refund (up to and including taking a loss themselves, IIRC). This has happened before, although I can't remember what program it was with.

Hey, nice metal sparkly!

Will we be seeing this on other units? (Fencer, Dwarvish Lord, Cavalier, etc.)

I understood this to be the indicator for the leadership effect. Using it on other units just for eye candy would be confusing.

Apple is a strange company. Very fair and friendly in many business aspects, while bordering on the tyrannical in many creative aspects.

But perhaps all this discussion of licenses and such should be split off to another forum, so that this thread can remain dedicated to art? [Edit: Already answered. No worries.]

I'm the moderator, and this thread doesn't need to be split - the thread is mostly finished, since the request has been fulfilled.

Yes, this is only for units with leadership. However, it's for -all- units with leadership, of all races - every one of them can be shoehorned into "brandishing" something which would have a "bright shiny spot" on it.

As we are right now for leaders:
Orcs have swords. Humans have swords. Elves have swords. Drakes have katarish metal claws. Death knights have axes. We're covered.

On Groovy's most recent animation - I would say the gleam should be closer to the right point or the tip itself.

I'm pretty sure the position is not part of the animation itself and can be moved as needed.

I've committed the images. Next up will be updating the macro, and all the units that use it. The macro will have one X,Y parameters, so the location can be adjusted per unit.

And just now, I've committed the new macro, and applied it to all the leader units that were already using the macro.

Thanks, guys. :D
