Hi Steve,
and thanks for those findings! I checked debian/changelog from
kdegames-card-data, and it seems it's actually using information from
the COPYRIGHT files in the individual cardset directories. So I've now
copied those information bits into the Comment: fields in
debian/copyight in my pysolfc package. It's going to take a bit longer
for pysolfc-cardsets, though...
Anyway, although these annotations shed some light on the origins of the
respective cardsets, the cardsets are also listed as GPL'ed in
kdegames-card-data's debian/changelog (and not as public domain). Any
thoughts on that?
As for cards in SVG format, I've posted a feature request in upstream's
bug tracker.
Regards
Bernhard
