IANAL, but I'm surprised that other person is... The GPL defines source as "the preferred form for modification", which works well in many situations, not just code. You can GPL a JPEG, or a PDF, or whatever. I'm guessing this is a SCUMM-based game? SCUMM is a virtual machine just like the Java, Perl, or Python VMs. It's as much "data" as a program written in those languages is, or (for example), an IA32 binary running on Bochs. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
