[tagua] Removing Creative Commons wallpapers from tagua.

[Yann Dirson]

Hi all,

In preparation of the upcoming 1.0alpha2, I have pushed to my tree a
patch[1] removing the wallpapers covered by Creative Commons a
licence. I feel the reasons for this should be recorded somewhere, so
here they are :)

- they make the tagua distribution as a whole not covered by the GPL,
since those parts cannot be licensed under the GPL

- the general opinion[2] is that none of the CC licences is compatible
with the Debian Free Software Guidelines[3], so the tagua source
package would have to be stripped from those before entering Debian.

- those wallpapers are absolutely not essential to the game anyway :)

For now that patch keeps the Prmao wallpaper: Maurizio, since you are
the copyright holder for this image, what is your wish about it ?
Would you be willing to license it under the GPL, or should be remove
it from the tree as well ?

Ah, if you like that wallpaper you can licence it as you like, GPL is
ok for me of course :)
