Hi Steve, and thanks for those findings! I checked debian/changelog from kdegames-card-data, and it seems it's actually using information from the COPYRIGHT files in the individual cardset directories. So I've now copied those information bits into the Comment: fields in debian/copyight in my pysolfc package. It's going to take a bit longer for pysolfc-cardsets, though... Anyway, although these annotations shed some light on the origins of the respective cardsets, the cardsets are also listed as GPL'ed in kdegames-card-data's debian/changelog (and not as public domain). Any thoughts on that? As for cards in SVG format, I've posted a feature request in upstream's bug tracker.
