Richard Hoelscher <rah rahga com> is the person to talk to about
paris.svg. bonded.png was created by me from the parts that came with
the original freecell implementation which were in turn taken (I think)
from xpat2. Since the construction technique was basically to
screen-shot aisleriot with the various cards pre-constructed I am in no
way able to change the licensing. I'm not sure who is responsible for
xpat or even if I'm correct.
