Did the author react? When I was maintaining the software I contacted the upstream author and what he said was basically that the only reason for xearth beeing nonfree was the gif generating code which in his opinion was too useful to be thrown out. But that was years ago. PNG has much caught up and just creating a version with png support only might become an option now.
