I interpreted this line different. I would think that since it forbids
using the files "as part of an online resource site like our own", and
SuperTuxKart is not an online image website, these terms give us the
right to use these images. I however agree the part about printed works
is maybe not too clear; I took it that printed works were allowed among
other things, not that only printed works are accepted. I e-mailed
image-after, so we should receive a definite answer on how to interpret
this line.

Furthermore, about 0.5, it contained a few sound effects that used a
*definitely* non-free license - seems like they were missed, probably
the packager back then assumed all of STK data was under GPL. All of
those were removed in 0.6. We do however introduced sounds with
CC-sampled and SoundSnap-license, hope these are okay.
