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
