I wrote "unchecked": "unchecked" == "unverified" != "unknown" != "unverifiable" 2. I stated that all are from public source, probably all Open Source affine. Before I check nigh to hundred cursors on licenses I want to know if this work is not in vain, and to limit the work of hunting down the copyright status to those cursor sets actually of interest. 3. even if -- as seems the case for the Oxygen and DMZ variants -- there is no explicit copyright statement in the cursor sets themselves, the original themes -- being distributed with common distros -- must have acceptable FLOSS licenses. 3.1 This then automatically applies to derived works. 3.2 It is a relatively trivial endeavour for me to take the original GPLed designs, do a little scripting based on ImageMagick for hue-shifting, and generate the spectrum wanted. The added advantage of this approach is, that I can previously repair, fine-tune, and (we can) possibly extend the cursor set (if there are some special cursors missing) once, and then generate a consistent color set. The offer to put my work into this stands, the only precondition is that the development team voices which cursor sets are of interest and would be included, quality and copyright status allowing ... To that end, the question is to answer, how those willing to have a look, get the cursor sets: 1. via private mail 2. via this mailing list 3. as attachment for an improvement on the bug report site And to avoid any problems for the list and site owner I ask if 2. or 3. would be OK despite yet unchecked copyright status. ciao, ThoMaus
