Hi!

I would like to use the chesspiece bitmaps from xboard in a program
that I am writing, a graphical interface to ICS that would be distributed
for free with source code.  How does the GNU Public License apply to me?
Is my program considered a modification of xboard if it uses only the bitmaps?
Do I need to distribute my program with certain notices, or register it
with FSF; or whom should I contact for permission to use the bitmaps?

No doubt this is a fairly common question but, being new to this game
I don't know where to look..
