Wormus of prey and Debian

[Thomas Pohl]

Hi all,
I just received a mail from the intro tune composer,
that this particular re-encoded and cut version may
be release with the BSD license (the complete version
of the tune is still under CC license).
I hope this settles the license problems for the intro tune.

Concerning the font issue: Has anybody tried to use the
DejaVu font in WoP? Does is work?

Thanks to all for your help.

Cheers,
Tom
