Let's wait for some input from more legally-knowledgeable people, first. What I expressed is (obviously) my take on the subject, and my disclaimers apply (once again: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP). > > The games-thumbnails package is needed for GoPlay!, so that game > descriptions can show a snapshot of how the game looks like. Ah, I see. This is why it has to be a centralized package, and it cannot be scattered into the various game packages (I mean: each screenshot included in the corresponding package, just like a menu configuration entry, an icon, or something similar...): it has to be installable, without having to install *all* the game packages. Did I get it right? If this is the case, it's unfortunate, because, speaking from a modularity standpoint, I think the place where a screenshot would "naturally" belong to is the very package of the game from which the screenshot was taken... BTW, is there an on-line web-based version of GoPlay!, by chance?
