+A few panel graphics have uncertain license terms when it comes to redistribution and usage within Cardinal.
+Cardinal authors have requested permission to the creators/owners of such graphics, for use and redistribution of the same.
+
+This document gives details on such licenses where there is no online resource to directly link to (permission request happened via private chat or email).
+Below follows a direct copy and paste of each individual request.

+Since Cardinal does not modify these files, it is assumed their usage is permitted as well.  
+In any case, Cardinal authors are in the process of asking permission to reuse the same contents.
 
 Note: The "final" version of Cardinal MUST NOT be released with unclear licenses!  
 So all uncertainties need to be resolved ASAP.
