Wow, really great work, and so nice that you worked to get it released FOSS. I will look forward to trying this out! It looks like you've put a lot of work into making it.
I could be wrong, but I suspect that by removing the title "sting" and "Lotr" this is a fairly basic sword design, especially without a handle. But it probably depends on how precisely you modeled it after sting, as in proportions, the ridge running down the blade, the hilt, etc. Probably deserves a mod's opinion nonetheless.
Either way, it looks really good, especially for your first 3d model ever!!!
I actually like these lengthy versions much more than the very short blurbs currently in the FAQ! For the most part I don't have any thoughts, but I think the GNU GPL section could use some brushing up.
Under GNU GPL, your language seems too soft: "commercial use may be okay" and "but generally should only be considered if you are willing to release your entire project under a GPL license." When I read this it just makes me wonder - CAN I use this art in a closed source game? Does "willing" mean it is required? The current FAQ states "Since the FSF has clarified that use of art does not trigger the GPL's linking requirement, the LGPL is effectively the same as the GPL when used for art." I haven't searched much, but I can only find conflicting information about this. I would naturally assume including GPL art means you must GPL your software. I may be wrong, but the language you propose doesn't clarify that issue for me, and seems to conflict with the advice Bart gives in the current FAQ.
Also, I think that the FAQ deserves a whole section for "Multiple licenses". It has this section now, but I like the language you use more.
Very helpful information. I was unable to access the site this afternoon around 4:30pm EST, but I did not receive any emails. Will be updating passwords nonetheless.
This is awesome! Love the feeling!

Really fun song!
I didn't see my message at first, but later found it in my spam folder.
