First off, kudos for opening the slviewer under the GPL.
However, the slviewer seems to need the static_index.db2 and static_data.db2 files in order to do anything useful. What is the license on these data files? Are they freely redistributable?
Thanks in advance,

Good question, I will double-check.

I'm glad you asked. I've been nudging appropriate people here but they do seem swamped in licensing questions so it's taking a while to get an authoritative response. |

a look at the contents of those, shows they contain artwork: files of types, j2c, tga, animation, gesture, bodypart, clothing. Some basic icons.
Doesn't answer the question of license, but might give some insight.

Still patiently waiting to hear about this. We're not going to be able to get this code into Fedora if those files aren't freely distributable without restrictions. |

Hi Snake.
I've been told that our license is intended to let people redistribute their own viewers - data and all - but I sympathise with the fact that this isn't necessarily clear or embodied in the licensing docs for our packages. I've been trying to persuade people that it's important that this be really clear!
It would be a great idea if you want to bring up the question on the SLDev mailing list - you'll get more eyes directly on the topic I suspect.
