TML's 1.2.2 Windows build came with a file called helentr.txt that carried the following statement: "All patterns were made by Helen Triantafillou. http://members.designheaven.com/~helentr/ You may use them in any way you like. Enjoy!" This file lists 16 patterns. Of the files I currently see in my local CVS directory of GIMP HEAD (last updated 3 Feb 2003), I see 56 pattern files. Of these, only four have the same name as the Triantafillou files, and none of them the same file size: bark.pat, brick.pat, paper.pat, wood1.pat. So unless Elliot Lee can tell us otherwise, I think we should rely on Kelly Martin's memory and assume we do not necessarily have a license to redistribute these image files. Of course, it is possible we do not need a license; the works may be too small to deserve copyright protection. IANAL, however. I'll look into this further. > Especially the brushes we ship need some > maintainance. Lots of them could be converted from pixmap brushes to > parametric (generated) brushes.
