--- Comment #5 from pcpa <paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade@xxxxxxxxx> ---
  I adding FE-LEGAL to have some information about discussion at
http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16393&st=0

  Basically, there are comments about authors agreeing with usage of
textures, but no link to such agreement, or when having it, usually
being just a note in a commit message.

  The text in art/LICENSE.txt:
Some of the files in the "textures/" directory are derived from materials
provided by CGTextures (http://www.cgtextures.com/). The original materials are
the property of CGTextures or its contributors. Special permission has been
granted by CGTextures to distribute these derived textures as CC-BY-SA. (This
has no effect on the standard licensing of CGTextures materials, or on any
other work derived from them.)

may not be enough, because
http://www.cgtextures.com/content.php?action=faq
explicitly states:

"""
May I use these textures for free?
Yes, the textures may be used for free in 2D or 3D computer graphics, movies,
printed media, computer games and 3D models. When bundled with a 3D model or
scene you are allowed to sell it as a package.
"""

but also

"""
May I use these textures in my Open Source (Creative Commons, GPL, etc)
project?
No. These textures may not be used in Open-Source projects. The licenses are
not compatible. Almost all Open-Source licenses allow redistribution of the
materials, and redistribution is not allowed for these textures.
"""

The thing is that there are restrictions for redistribution of
(competitive) derived work if I understand correctly.
