Of course people downloading from your site may use the files for single player, and I don't have a problem with that. While licences like CC may be necessary for large projects with thousands or millions or participants (wikipedia comes to mind), I think in a small community like (O)TTD(P), communication and case-by-case permissions are a better way to go. They keep the community active and talking to one another, and help prevent situations (seen all too often elsewhere) where ill- will is created by people following the legal letter of a licence rather than respecting the wishes of artists. So, while I'm happy for anyone to do almost anything with my grfs if they ask, I won't be releasing anything under any kind of blanket licence. Cheers, David Dallaston PikkaBird
