what is the license for the source and data?

[alexmyczko]

the original website url is dead..

could you drop Originals/
and the Thumbs.db?

And create a release?

I've got a working Debian/Ubuntu package here:
http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/prototype/

The original website is dead, yes, and I don't have much info about the licence. I think "Public Domain" sounds about right, because the original author hasn't put any licence on its work.

I can remove the Thumbs.db

The Originals, I can , but why?

I can also create a release, sure.

[alexmyczko]

because they are not needed for the game? are you on twitter?

[ptitSeb]

Ok, I'll remove them (they were used before, but I converted the file to png and are not used anymore).

No, i'm not on twitter.

What is your real name and email address? I would need to write a file like this for prototype: https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/p/protracker/protracker_2.3d.r147-1_copyright
and the copyright years?
