Might it be a good idea to email the author of Gweled to see if he has already dealt with this issue? It would be good to know if the Gweled jewel images have already been challenged and cleared of any possible copyright infringment. It seems like this might be a possibility since I believe Gweled already packaged with Ubuntu (and maybe other linux distros).
