This is a question to the community as a whole, as to what we think on the subject. It's also a question to the ex-Ion folks, in case there is a legal (deciding) side to it all.
Without a doubt, many T3 FM authors will want to include Eric's brilliance from T1&2 in their T3 missions. Myself included. What about distribution? Is it:
A. Completely illegal! That's copyrighted material! The ONLY way to do it is to force each and every FM user to extract the files themselves!! *shakes fist!!1*
B. Quasi-legal, because it's a fan mission FOR the Thief series, so we'll "let it slide."
C. Completely legal. It's within LGS/Eidos/ISA domain (Thief). Additionally, most clips are less than 10 seconds long, which makes them all "samples" and therefore freely usable (or something like that... I think...)
What do we all think? Will hosting be refused to missions that contain T1&2 sounds? It's already been granted to many missions that use the sound and alter them in some small way (so if we really want to be pricks, we could "touch" the files and change the time stamps - voila, new file). Or is this a non issue, and let's all go apeshit and include whatever sounds we want?!
TO DO LIST:
1. PAGANS.

I think it's C. If FM creators used those sounds in the Dark Mod then there would be trouble. But if it's from T1 or T2 & it's being used in T3 then I see no problem. Besides, isn't there sounds from T1 & T2 in T3 anyway?
. . . :p I agree with the Pagan bit. Also change the speech of the fences and store AI.

Giving the fences and shop keepers mission specific dialoge would be a great idea. I wouldn't supposed it would be too hard to implement.

I would really like to see the old zombie sounds from t1/t2 brought back. That hungry wail when they spotted you...The new zombie sounds are no where near as scary.
