Openfetion includes some images or pictures which are copied from ChinaMobile Fetion client, but this has not noticed in any form in openfetion. Should I remove these files or not ?Unless you can be sure you (and Debian) have a license to redistribute these images, they should be removed from the package and replaced if possible. If I may add: if you aren't a very good with drawing yourself, you might find loads of such images in some other open source projects that you could use as a replacement (do I need to mention any name of such an IM client?). That's not a perfect way as something matching a bit the original would be cool, but at least it's a fast way to solve your issue. Do not forget as well that these icons will use the type of license of the project that you will pickup, and this shall be documented in debian/copyright.
