IIRC this has happenend already - I can't check atm as I'm writing this 
offline and haven't updated my tuxtype svn checkout in a while...

But, IIRC there were some files which were only released under a Creative 
Commons 2.0 licence, which sadly ain't free according to the DFSG... out of 
my head I'm not completly sure whether 2.5 is sufficient, 3.0 is definitly 
fine (provided it's the right CC licence, ie allowing commercial 
redistribution..)

Instead of removing those files now, I'd propose to ask the authors to 
relicence them under a 3.0 CC licence - IME most everybody is fine with that, 
it just needs to be done ;-)


regards,
	Holger, who is really really happy about this and very confident that we will 
sort out those pesky details :)
