Description Harald Sitter 2015-03-04 16:28:29 UTC
The metadata license information in themes/winter/khangman_winter.svg suggests that the file is licensed under the non free license creative commons non commercial share alike which probably excludes shipping the file in distributions that adhere closely to the debian free software guidelines (namely Debian itself and Kubuntu).

Relicensing or using a different graphic asset under a free license would be lovely.

Reproducible: Always

CCing Jonathan and Scott as they are more knowledgeable in the licensing area of things.

16:30 < Riddell> ach that's just lintian being annoying
16:30 < Riddell> inkscape will often add that cc-by-nc notice even when it's not true
16:30 < Riddell> and lintian has begun to notice
16:30 < Riddell> it can be removed no problem
