OK then, you're right.

The graphics are not licensed under the GPL (although I haven't seen that on the site, but I haven't really searched), so what I said doesn't apply to them, and presumably, 3rd parties must have copyright holders approval before distributing them.

I hope that Apex is really doing that, it can be a help for the DftD project, but I can't help doubting
Its not that I'm right. The developers said the GPl can be sold but the artwork is not for sale. It is a very fine line here. Anyway, I asked AG124 if he could contact the developers again and forward my communique I have had with Apex on the issue.

The site now has a disclaimer on it. Check out the link a couple of replys up above. From the looks of it Apex is selling other games in the same situation. He has no disclaimers.
