I guess this isn't clear in the crossfire distribution.

I know that some people have put crossfire images into their own icon
collections that are distributed as public domain.  One wrote me for
permission fairly early in crossfire's history (some australian, it wasn't
you?), and I told him that the images were made by various people and that
none of those had said anything about copyright when submitting them.

As for now, if someone don't think their contribution to crossfire
falls under crossfire's licence, or under the public domain, please
state that.  Until they protest, we should assume they agreed.
