But this has no legal relevance.  It's just the same error as when
people include a file "COPYING" that contains the text of the GPL:
There's no indication that the "COPYING" file describes the license
conditions for all (or some) files in the tarball.  Same here:  There's
no indication that the list of files in FILES means that these files are
covered by the license on page whatever of the manual.

And there's no source for the images, is there?  At least in 1.00 they
exist in multiple formats, which indicates they might be created in some
image editing program.

I really do think that in order to resolve the license bug, someone has
to contact Till.

Regards, Frank
