Thanks for these infos. The lack of information on starfighter's web page,
and the fact that I didn't know that MOD files could contain that kind of
information made me do wrong assumptions :-)
So... "License: Public Domain" in Extras, or kept out because of the blurry
status of those files? I'd vote for "in"...
