Hi. Thanks for the proposal. Currently, Quarry comes with one wood texture, that was taken from a public image collection. License terms were not specified there---only an outline, sort of "you can use them freely, but I'm not sure as I'm not the author." I guess there will be no problem, but it would be nice to have a fallback texture(s) in case of emergency. So, I do need background texture or even several of them. Quarry allows customization of appearance, so we are not bound to a single texture. If the quality of your work will be high, I will most likely change the default background to yours and leave the current texture as a selectable (non-default) option. Concerning the license, I will be most happy if it will allow unlimited distribution and possibility for modification. It can also bind modified versions to the very same license agreement (i.e. be "copyleft".) If you don't feel this terms are acceptable, we can discuss other possibilities. If you get on this work, post results either to this mailing list or to my mail box directly. You can view the current texture on this address: http://cvs.gna.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/quarry/quarry/data/textures/wood1.jpg?rev=HEAD&content-type=image/jpeg Paul
