Well, I just looked at the bug, and I think I can help out somewhat. I was the original creator of Tux Typing and maintained it up to the 1.0 release. After that, I passed on maintainer-ship over to Jesse Andrews (see this http://www.samhart.com/snh/oldnews/2002-Apr-news.shtml#2002Apr7-23:27) Nearly every graphic, sound and animation was something that I created except for a few images which were pulled from the Copyright Free Photo Archive here: http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/index.html Beyond the 1.0 release, there may have been some graphics that originated from somewhere else, I'm afraid you'd have to track down and ask Jesse Andrews for those details. However, I'm more than willing to do whatever I need to to ensure that the graphics and sounds I've created have some sort of copyright or text associated with them to make them work inside the DFSG. I can certainly identify those images and sounds that I personally created (many of the sounds, for example, are me doing things like taking a bite out of an apple or saying things like "excuse me"). I can also identify which images came from the Copyright Free Photo Archive. If anyone is willing to work with me to identify what /specifically/ is needed for it, I'd be more than obliged. (FWIW, this was something we actually struggled with in Tux4Kids and later at OSEF... we never really found a license that did for media what other FLOSS licenses do for software. So, honestly, the lack of any real text describing license or copyright was because we were at a loss as to what to use.) -- ''''''''''''''''''''''''' .O.
