Hi.

I have a licensing question.  For chess.el, we provide a chessboard
display module which uses images to display a chess position.
Originally, these images were just taken from xboard.  This is, of
course, a bit problematic regarding ELPA inclusion.  I am currently
looking for a replacement for the xboard based images which would be
suitable for ELPA inclusion.  If I were not blind (sic), I'd actually
try and draw some myself.  However, since this is out of question, I
have found (with the help of a sighted coworker) chess piece images on
openclipart.org.  These are public domain.  I wonder, would such a
source be suitable for inclusion in an ELPA hosted project?

If not, I am sort of out of luck.  Is anyone on this list (who has
signed papers with FSF) capable and willing to draw 12 different chess piec=
e images
for chess.el?  We currently need XPM format, as %c-%p.xpm, where %c is
either black or white, and %p is one of
pawn, knight, bishop, rook, queen and king.  Something between
48x48 and 96x96 is probably a good size.
https://github.com/skainz/emacs-chess-pieces has a generate.sh script
which demonstrates how to deal with background color such that things
are actually "transparent", at least that is what I am told.

Thanks for your input.
