all of these are covered by some sort of GNU licence so you

I can't help but feel that a good number of open source 'advocates' in the
developer community don't quite grasp the idea of free / open source software
project licenses. Most of the time, we're talking about free as in 'freedom'
not as in 'beer' - the GNU licenses (GPL/LGPL/AGPL) and other OSI approved
licenses spell out what you can and can not do.
The fact that it is 'some sort of GNU license' doesn't mean that you're free to
do as you please and 'steal' them for your own collections.
I find it appalling that your download doesn't include any attribution nor the
origin nor the licenses under which this artwork was originally made available.
As a result, someone maty just copy it and use it in their own project, not
realizing that this was not yours to give away.
Shame on you, Richmond!
Right! I stand corrected and will put the licenses from the original
files into the zip file.
This was something I completely overlooked. Thank you for putting me right.
Jan Schenkel.
