Well Upstream says (at the link I posted) that those tilesets are "are granted
to use with the Tales of Maj'Eyal game only." You cannot ignore the information
on the website, it is supplementary at minimium to the source tarball.

If you want to challenge this, obtain (written) clarification from upstream if
those tileset can be uses outside of  Tales of Maj'Eyal. 

BTW, the tarball you have linked has the file "COPYING_MEDIA", saying the same.
This is the file:

  All the medias located in all the "/data/gfx" folders are granted to use with
  the Tales of Maj'Eyal game only.

  Please contact dark...@te4.org for more informations.

This is NON-FREE. Sorry.

(I can't help you with the lua problem, sorry)
