Fixed in trunk. Thanks for the help.

The file maps/battlefield/terrain.png has the same content. It has been converted from 32bpp to 8bpp. The wording in the exception text is a bit poor in that regard. Actually changing those files should be allowed except when their content does not derive anymore from the original.

COPYRIGHT.txt in the Bos Wars 2.5 release stipulates:

"As a special exception the sources are not required for the following files:"

and then a long list of files, mostly .png and .wav.
However, many of these files do not exist in the source tree
with the names given. Most of those have been renamed and
a few have been deleted.

I am attaching a patch for boswars-2.5, but you probably won't
want to apply it as such. This patch changes the list to
contain only those files to which the original exception
clearly applies. It removes maps/battlefield/terrain.png from
the list because that file has been modified after the exception
was granted. It also does not add any new files to the list,
such as intro/boswars_intro.ogg.
