My impression is they mostly just care about source code (and partially documentation) and that resulted in the GPL only using words referring to code. There is some statement where they recommend using GPL even though they say you have to know yourself what sourcecode means (as they might not even know themself): http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#GPLOtherThanSoftware IIRC this ambiguity and uncertainty is one of the reasons CC-BY-SA was created by people who care about artists. > > Though it worries me that it might triple the size of the git repo. > > What do you think? > > I would prefer not to grow the repo that much (indeed, I was hoping to > evict the website directory in due course).

Thats why I asked if you have a better idea and was trying to prune it before adding it (I found a paint.net plugin for psd files which I'll try out). A separate art repo might be a good idea, maybe you could convert the SVN and git filter-branch inappropriate stuff like col1 or civ3 art. For the website its too late already, as you fiddling around with git filter-branch invalidates all commit hashes. I would just keep it for now, unless it helps with maintenance or upload of the website. I also found a number of useful higher res images in the website part, which I would want to keep, so I'd prefer you do not delete it, tell me when/if it happens and let me sort out what to delete and what not.
