So… then the backgrounds might be a problem. At least the ones I scanned. You barely can see what the Original was like in those small sizes, but… maybe you can. OKOK, we want to be 100% secure there. Will replace them asap. And I will add a license txt. I already contacted the Cards author btw.

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.

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.

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.
