Below is a link to a site that has a lot of public domain textures and environment maps for the sky box.

You need to read what it states on the page that has the download links. Most of the textures I've seen states the following:

This texture collection is in the public domain, and can be used freely in this format in non-commercial projects. For commercial projects, please contact the artist.

The artist has given permission for this texture collection to be converted into the proper format for use with other games (still subject to the usage guidelines above.) The Wadfather staff have not had a chance to do the conversions yet; if you choose to convert them for yourself, please share the results with us so they can be added to the downloads section for this artwork!

Download in JPEG or BMP format

Please remember to give credit to Rorshach if you use any of these textures in one of your projects!

So basically, if you want to use the textures in commercial projects just contact the artist, they would probably let you use them as long a you give them credit but some may want some compensation if the game makes money.

yeah,I saw this after I posted the message (sorry),so It's OK for me,because my game will be completely free!
