I'm not gonna continue this useless discussion anymore. Some of the data is
suitable for redistribution ("These textures are completely free to use in any
way you like,
 including using them as base for others. I couldn't care less
 if you credit me or not.", "Use the map for anything you want, no copyright
or restrictions are imposed.", "They are hereby
 placed in the public domain as well.", "All are license free."), some others
are not ("all included data is designed for the cube game engine. any other
use or any form of redistribution requires my permission.
"), and most of it doesn't even include a license or copyright note, so it
wouldn't be legal even to distribute it in non-free. We'd probably have to
replace some parts of it anyway.

Also, you don't know my plans, so this is absolutely not a NO to my plans,
mainly because I haven't decided my plans yet. Whatever I wanna do with cube,
according to legality and respecting the license text of course, I'll do if I
want, and I'll forget about it if I decide taht it's not worth the effort, but
anyway, as you clearly stated in a previous mail, this is none of your
business
.

Definitely end of discussion.
