I have no problem with that.  In fact, my problem with the proposed liscence is
twofold:

1)  "only for a game named crossfire".  Sure, it's free to us, but thats not
very open-source-friendly of us.  My point there is that it's not nice to use
other free images, and then put a sign on one of ours that says "you can't have
this one"

2)  Non-modification is a bit much. What constitutes modification.  If I
animate it, is that modifying it?  What if I shrink it down or expand it?  What
if I want a green dragon? Is it worth having this picture, if we have to tippy
toe around it?  Do we want to have to deal with this kind of thing in the
future, and accumulate more liscenses like this?
