If you're listening are you guys going to eventually replace the
graphics with your own so people who don't have X-Com can play?
You'd probably have to change the graphics engine to higher res with
alpha channels for transparency because no one would pixel paint all
those graphics.

If you had taken the opportunity to investigate the project before posting, 
or even glanced at the project's homepage, you would note that UFO2000 can 
be played with the UFO Defense demo files. Thus, you would not have to own 
it.

You would if you wanted to have any fun, like playing with other terrain
and using user maps.

Don't be so hasty: Over at freedoom we're doing exactly that to replace the 
old DOOM/DOOM2 resources. http://freedoom.sf.net/.

I know of a few people in that community who, once we've got FD out of the 
way, would be very keen to help improve any open source XCOM efforts.

A "few" people. Doom has about a billion zillion willing to do that
stuff.

To date, 86[1], but from that figure only 31 have contributed sprite
resources, and of that figure, a very small minority have contributed
anything more complex than a four-frame flaming barrel, for example.
