Excuse me if this is somewhere already covered but if it has, and there is a EULA that exists somewhere I apologize, but I've searched the forums here, my FPS Creator Disk, the Game Creators Site and if it does, it is not easily or readily available. What I have found is that there appears to have been a change in license/policy regarding the Media/Model Packs. There seemed to be a flurry of discusion about this back in April/March where I found these two quotes but nothing since. Regarding Model Pack 2(and 1 in the forum thread):

As far as the license, I don't care how you use these, you can use these in any commercial or non-commercial project, including non-FPSC stuff. Obviously you cannot sell these on their own or as part of any "pack". Hope that answers the licensing question."

The official response is:
You can use our models so long as they are being used in a game / application. We do not restrict which language you use to make that game with (fpsc, dbpro, blitz, etc).
You CANNOT sell the models, either on their own, or as part of a library - or as part of a library for an application you've made (say for example you created a 3D modelling package, you could not include our models with it, they have to be used WITHIN the application itself)."
This seems to fall directly in contrast to the current footer on the Media/Model Packs pages:
Quote: "This pack is for use with FPS Creator games only. It requires your FPS Creator serial number to install. The license does not permit you to use the media in any other game or application."
Any info on this would be helpful. A link to an EULA, an official clarification of what the license was/is, etc. in regard to using the Media/Models in non-FPS games, especially if the purchase was made prior to this apparent change (Sept 2005, April 2006 respectively).
