fluxbox has CC-BY-NC-SA files

Looking at fluxbox I noticed that almost all of it's theme.cfg files
are licensed under CC-BY-NC-SA according to the headers:


############################################################

Interestingly enough they point to the URL for the CC license that
doesn't have the Non-Commercial clause.

You can find these files under
usr/share/fluxbox/styles/{arch,bloe,bora_black,bora_blue,bora_green,carp,green_tea,ostrich,zimek_*}/theme.cfg
 As and example, you can find them in this build:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=209141

I thought I would raise the issue here and see whether those files
need to be removed from the Fedora package or not.  The Non Commercial
clause seems to make them non-free according to the Fedora guidelines.
