This problem has been resolved by discussion with the copyright owner of
the image files in question. The website that the images were
originally distributed from [1] now has a license statement for the
windows screensaver that the images are part of
I believe that this solves the problem, and that kaquarium and
shermans-aquarium can now be packaged in a DFSG way, given suitable
alterations to the copyright statements in those packages.
I'll get kaquarium fixed soon and ask my sponsor to upload it hopefully
this weekend...
