Stuart Prescott pointed out to me that the way I wrote this is a bit
misleading.

I meant that you should confirm there is no *.svg source for the files
-- not that there is definitely a source you need to find.  If the files
were created and edited in *.png all along, that that is the preferred
format for modification.  The check-all-the-things output is only a
pointer to further investigation.

Also, if upstream can't help you track down the license of the files
created by Lexi Shriner, you could just drop that theme since there
exists the default theme.

Sorry for sending so many separate e-mails!  Hope we can get these
issues resolved soon.
