+<PRE>According to Vincent Archer:
+&gt;<i> Some quick answers, before we go further in detail.
+</I>
+More detail today, as promised :)
+
+&gt;<i> According to Zane:
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Would it be possible to move the snowballs data into the CVS tree? I'm
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; keeping current with the CVS updates and evidentally some changes made to
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; NeL or the client/server portion have rendered the data package offered on
+</I>&gt;<i> &gt; the website obsolete.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Hmmm, that's odd. It shouldn't have, but we'll look at it.
+</I>
+We're still using the published data here, so it should not have been
+a problem. Are you sure you are using the latest data file? There are
+two on the web now, an old (NeL 0.2/Snowballs 0.1) and a new (NeL 0.3
+&amp; Snowballs 0.2) packed format (which is a lot smaller).
+
+If you're using the one that came with the very first release, update. If
+not, then there's something very odd going on. Open a bug then, and we'll
+have a deep look at it.
+
+However, the point you raise is good, because one day we might encounter
+that specific problem. I'm checking exactly how we're going to put it,
+whether in the code/client tree, a specific code/data tree, or a
+fully separate module (since it isn't code per se).
+
+&gt;<i> License issues. Basically, we have a problem releasing a free plugin to
+</I>&gt;<i> a commercial non-source software package. The GPL poses a lot of problems
+</I>&gt;<i> (we can't give you a GPLed 3DSmax, can we?), and we haven't a satisfying
+</I>&gt;<i> license yet that allows to get as close to GPL as we can, while respecting
+</I>&gt;<i> the license from 3DS.
+</I>
+I want to stress &quot;we haven't... yet&quot;. We're trying to find a good solution
+to that problem (which basically boils down to using proprietary software
+right now, which limits our freedom of action, as usual).
+
+&gt;<i> &gt; What about design documents for NeL? You have a lot of auto-generated
+</I>
+We're working on redoing the way we document things. Doxygen is good,
+but if no one writes documentation for it, it's as instructive as trying
+to learn tu use Unix from just the manual pages.
+
+But that's the usual problem with programming: programmers are interested
+in writing code, not writing prose. We strive to keep them from sliding
+too much in code-only mode :)
