Leilol, OpenArena's project leader, has said
this at the OA official forums:
Apparently it was discovered that one of the contributors have contributed content derived from strictly non-Free content. It made its way into OA 0.8.0's release. This is highly unacceptable, and so, I have pulled the OA080 release files since I don't support the work of thieves and I don't want this release around anymore.
Note that this does not mean the older 0.7.6/7 or 0.7.1 releases are NOT inheriting "current release" status. I will not be providing them here either.
You'll just have to wait until 0.8.1 is released. Apologies in advance for the extra megabytes of bandwidth to use.
And in the General forum of the same place, she gave
the reasons of the dropdown:
The main reason - TraK's textures.
This post at cgtextures finally seals the deal:
http://old.cgtextures.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1735&postcount=18Ever wonder why I was so hesitant about his demands of committing 'his' textures? This is the last time i'll ever take weasel words from a crybaby whiner.
Who knows when the next big fkn release of OA might make it now.
Gone will also be TraK's compiled map files. They won't come back unless someone retextures them.
