The Bavarian cards are my own ones. Scanned from my
own decks I have
here. The cards image is not under any specific copyright because it
existed that way far before we even had patents. Moreover I made 20
cards myself which not even exist in Germany. Cards Nr 2-5
normally don’t exist at all in all 4 colors.
I see. I've read up a bit on this topic, see [1] and [2] for answers
from German lawyers. Given the information you've added, I don't think
we'll get into problems with these cards as long as the images are just
similar but not identical to the cards of an existing publisher.
he deviantart ones are under CCL.
There are several Creative Commons licenses, some require crediting the
author at prominent places. Please check this and add all license
information for all used images to a small textfile in the image folder.
Afterwards, we can see if more crediting is required.
So, yes, you may be right, I might have misinterpreted
free to use in
new French front matters that way I can use em in a LGPL library, too.
They are still free to use, aren’t they? Sorry if I might be wrong here.
If so, I can try to contact that guy of course.
Free to use usually only applies to private use. By putting them in SVN
and future ReactOS releases, we're actually redistributing them.
Please contact the author and put his answer into the textfile as well.
Cheers,
Colin
