I am planning to package this app https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher Code is Expat licensed but assets/ includes icons from proprietary game launchers. These are: https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-battlenet.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-ea.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-epic-games.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-rockstar.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-ubisoft-connect.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/faugus-wargaming.png Upstream author says they extracted them from .exe files. Is it okay to include them? They are used in GUI, you click on "New Game/App" select one of the launchers (and see included icon). Then faugus-launcher downloads the exe installer and runs it through one of the forks of Valve's Proton. Also I am little bit confused what license should be these icons: https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/ko-fi.png https://github.com/Faugus/faugus-launcher/blob/1.18.2/assets/paypal.png
