In fact, I would like to know more about what exactly went on. If they are being jerks about it, they are going to lose one of their biggest contributors.

Well, most of the posts regarding the problem that occured were deleted because they were off topic and pretty negative, so nothing remains of the arguments that occured and minor name-calling that ensued.
No one has really responded to your question because it's a delicate topic that we've all put behind us, though I will atempt a fair and unprovocative summary.
We used some maps from ***************. A few were 100% work done by SoulPl (the person from *************** who asked we stopped using his work), some were derivative. The credit given for his work was fair, but he didn't want us using his work whatsoever. At first we argued that it wasn't fair, he didn't want us using even derivative work, or his copies of the SOE maps; but we decided it wasn't worth arguing over and used maps that were by other authors who said anyone could use them (for our initial maps) and have been since creating our own.
