Ok, just what I thought - but would it be different if I converted the package to download those files during postinst, similar to flash- plugin? Does that README's "free for personal use" apply at all, so I could make automatic downloading possible? Is the archive granting rights without the authors' consent here? Or does such downloading fall under "fair use"? For now I'm going to remove those files. More opinions welcome - thanks so far! Jan
