Hello

I am writing you to ask a few things about your maps. Would you possible dual
license, or relicense, unlicense your work into something of these?
  - Public Domain (everybody can do everything, Wild West in Digital)
  - Artistic License
  - BSD revised
  - GNU GPL
(don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested and want to know more
details on the different licenses)

The benefits and advantages are these:
  - Other people can take your work and create new work
  - Other people can create new maps combining existing maps
  - People can use your work in other products
  - People could sell your work (if they find someone to buy it,
    although smart people still could just download it, so the chance
    to actually sell it as it is, is small)

The disadvantages is obviously you give other people more rights to
do with your work.

If it helps, here's my work of Photos (editable into usable textures):

Another thing I can offer is hosting your works for free, and having it packaged
for Distribution by Linux Distributions like Debian and Ubuntu.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Gürkan
