There's also this from README.markdown that I would think is concerning:
"I've replaced all of the proprietary artwork with stuff I created or downloaded"
It seems that upstream thinks that if they downloaded artwork off the internet somewhere, that makes it freely licensed. Those probably all need checking to see what's distributable and what's not.
