Well, I don't care about my own drawings, but concerning my intro.xpm,
everything is mine except the font, which is either freeware, or
shareware (must check). I can also guarantee that the other gfx I did
for Freeciv in the past are completely my work, so there is no problem.
Will have to use 3D fonts for Freeciv ?? :o/
