Bug#383155: Fwd: Re: Jimmac cursor theme on kde-look.org

[Petr Kopecký]

Hi Loïc,

it means that I have used cursors from 
http://jimmac.musichall.cz/themes.php?skin=7 which is hopefuly under GPL 
(it's 3 years ago and now I cannot find a license information), added 4 
cursors (by changing some from the original png's) and created the cursor 
package by creating symlinks and other necessary stuff. 
It means if original cursors were really under GPL then a package is clean 
GPL. I hope I did not harm any license.
But if I understand the problem correctly in Martin's industrial-cursor-theme 
(which is the reason for this discussion) there are used symlink names from 
my package. But for this it makes no sense to discuss licenses as information 
about necessary cursor package structure is freely available for everyone 
somewhere on the internet.

Bye
Petr
