Art Asset Copyrights in Free Software

An early version of a free community made video game modification (which had established a name and graphical logo) created using a larger company's engine was released under the GNU license as free software and the source code was made publicly available. In the meantime the modification name logo and game-play has been adopted by a second group of ''developers''. Ignoring the ethical issues, would it be unlawful to create a derivative free modification using the same (or very similar) name, logo and game-play?

Re: Art Asset Copyrights in Free Software

I'd have to read the GNU license in question, but my sense is that such activity is expressly authorized under the license.

Read the license carefully. Your answer is in there!
