[Scummvm-devel] BaSS/FotA icons and copyright

[David Weinehall]

First a note on copyright:

Neither BaSS nor FotA contains legally valid copyright statements
(I haven't checked Lure of the Temptress).

Valid forms of expression copyright are:

Copyright © <year(s)> <copyright owner(s)>
Copyright <year(s)> <copyright owner(s)>
© <year(s)> <copyright owner(s)>
Copr. <year(s)> <copyright owner(s)>

(C) does *NOT* have legal status, and since copyright is time-limited,
copyright year(s) also has to be included.  While the Berne Convention
means that copyright is automatic, inclusion of a proper copyright
statement still is important in some legislations (mainly the U.S.),
since it affects damage in case of a copyright violation.

All the information is available in readme.txt, so I used that info to
provide the correct data in the copyright file shipped with Debian, but
I'd suggest updating the tarballs provided on the download page.

Also, I'd like to include icons for Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of
the Amazon Queen in the Debian packages, for use with a .desktop entry,
(and I guess that the person who'll package Lure of the Temptress will
want to do the same for that game).

Are there any ready-made (preferably in SVG format) icons for these
games, and if so, what license are they under?

Oh, and *if* there are freely licensed icons available, *and* my
proposal to update the tarballs is accepted, I'd be a very happy puppy
indeed if those icons were included in the new tarballs, to minimise the
diff between the Debian package and upstream.
