About The Sound Files Used In This Game --------------------------------------- Some of the sound files used in this game were made exclusively by myself (Sam Hart, ) and I place under the Gnu GPL as dictated by the COPYING file in the root directory of this archive. Those files are: excuseme.wav bite.wav run.wav splat.wav The following files are taken from tuxmath and where made by Bill Kendrick - the files are also place under the GPL: game.mod game2.mod game3.mod laser.wav pause.wav tock.wav explosion.wav alarm.wav buzz.wav lose.wav pop.wav shieldsdown.wav Sam got the following two files from a CD with copyright-free stuff ("they were sounds you could legally use to sample, remix, use elsewhere, without having to get permission or any acknowledgement back to the author"): win.wav winfinal.wav Emmett Plant (emmett@sonivius.com) is the author of tuxi.ogg and released it in the public domain. This game is under the Gnu GPL (again, see COPYING) and is open-source. While this does not preclude it from being included in a commercial packade (such as a Linux distro) this software is required to be freely distributable. If you have any further questions (or you feel a sound file used in this open-source game has a copyright conflicting enough to not be included with a Gnu GPL software title) please contact me at hart@geekcomix.com Thx. ----------------------------------------- 10 Sep 2009 ADDENDUM - the previously present files with license problems (kmus1-4.wav, click.wav) have all been removed and replaced with 100% free and redistributable alternatives. I believe the sound files in Tux Typing are now fully compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines. David Bruce
