Hi,

I approved of your project. There is a small thing I would like to ask of you. May I have you apply your copyright and license notices in those lua script files from the data tarball. To me those files are non-trivial.

Registration Details


  • Name: Aviation
  • System Name:  aviation
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v3 or later





Description:

Aviation is a free flight simulator meant to be somewhere in-between accurate but complicated simulators and simple toy simulators that don't provide any level of realism.  It features a non-linear flight model, a configurable atmosphere and sky model and a CLOD triangulation engine for the terrain.  Actually all these are features of Techne the platform on which Aviation runs.  Currently Aviation allows you to fly around in an area of around 600 square kilometers centered around the Columbia river.  It can be easily extended though to implement combat or air race scenarios.

Aviation is implemented on top of Techne and is therefore written in Lua.


Other Software Required:

Techne, GPL v3, no website currently available.  I'm waiting for your approval to host the project.


Other Comments:

This project consists of three packages.  The sources, the data, mostly geometry and textures for the airplane and a data set with satellite imagery and elevation data for the terrain.  I won't attach the third package yet as it is rather large.  It consists of data sourced from http://www.landcover.org.  I could not find a strict license but, for Landsat data for example, you can read in the following page: http://www.landcover.org/data/landsat/

Intellectual Property Rights
Use is free to all; effectively held by USGS & NASA; but ultimately held by US public.

I thus redistribute my derivative data set with the same license:

In accordance with source data licensing use of these data sets is free to all.

Let me know if you need this package as well but it consists purely of media and is more than 100MB large.
