Which is *kind of* fine.  For distribution, I plan to package the
engine and some kind of installer.  The installer will be run on first
execution of the program and will automatically download the media
packs.  This should be okay, yes?

Either way, I'll talk to the other members of the team and see if they
won't consider distributing their work under the GPL.
