There is a simple solution to any problems with the artwork in question -- Samuele, just replace any image that is not freedom-licensed with one that is! :-) It's absolutely OK to be inspired by something that's non-free. Using non-free elements for examples for the first round (or two) is probably even OK. But at this point in the cycle, you should have replaced any non-free elements with free ones. If you do that, there is no reason the theme can't be in Fedora. The only thing standing in the way is the non-free element you're using. Fedora is all about giving our users and contributors freedom -- freedom to use, modify and redistribute, now and always. If we were to give them artwork that doesn't have that level of freedom, we would be putting a legal burden on them. That's not the right thing to do, and it's not in the letter or spirit of how Fedora works. All we're asking is that the contributors to our themes live by the same rules as everyone else who contributes to Fedora. -- Paul W.
