Uhm, guys.

You need much more then just free maps, you also need replacement fonts
and other graphics. (Stuff used for the console, the menu, the in game
HUD, and a few other things.)

Replacements for those are unlikely to exist now, and will take a while
to generate.

In short, the source is definitely contrib for now, maybe in a few
months to a year that might change, maybe not.
