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. --=20 CYa, =E2=A1=8D=E2=A0=81=E2=A0=97=E2=A0=8A=E2=A0=95
