The theme files available for crystal stacker do not come with any license
of their own. Therefor I (Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.nl>) have asked
the Author and Copyright holder (Todd Cope) of crystal stacker who are the
Authors and Copyright holders of the themes.
It turns out that he (Todd Cope) is the Author and Copyright holder of all
themes but 2 and he has given permission to distribute his themes under the
same license as crystal stacker.
For the other 2 themes Travis Cope is the Author and Copyright holder and he
too has given permission to distribute his themes under the
same license as crystal stacker.
The crystal stacker license can be found at the top of crystal stackers
readme, included in this package as cs-readme.txt

I will add a polling function to t3ssal. I need to check the code to
make sure there are no blocking situations that would cause the music
to stutter. I also need to fix t3ss_set_music_pattern to actually skip
to the correct pattern in the music as this is used by some of the
themes.
About the themes, all of them are made by me with the exception of "Food
Stacker" and "Matrix" which are made by Travis Cope. They fall under the
same license as the game and you can even include them in the Linux
package if you want. Speaking of license, I've been looking at those
licenses but I can't decide on one. I'm going to rewrite my license,
however, to clarify the issues you raised.
Thanks for all the work you've put in. I will e-mail you when I have
everything done. Also, if you haven't done so already, I'm going to add
you to the credits for the Linux port.
Thanks,
Todd Cope

Hi David,
First a short intro: I've been working lately with Todd on the Linux
port of crystal stacker. I'm currently in the process of packaging it
for inclusion into Fedora a well known linux distribution.
I would also like to create a package with all themes in it, including
yours. Todd has sais that his themes are under the same license as CS
itself and that that probably applied to your themes to, but that to be
certain I should ask you, so here I am: What is the license under which
your themes may be distributed?
Thanks & Regards,
Hans

The themes I made for Crystal Stacker are under the same license as the game. I never really sat down and thought about the licensing, etc., I just kind of assumed it would use whatever Todd was using for Crystal Stacker.
Have a good day
