      I think the original creator has been lost to the bowels of the internet. But if the original creator ever does show up just keep it in mind I can’t grant you permission to use it. Then again it’s so simple it might not be up to copyright, I don’t know.

      Just want you to know if you are going to use it for a game 👍

      • Ah, good to know, I was just glossing over it and saw the CC0 in the info. I think for something like this, that shouldn’t be much of a problem (especially for the original use-case of a Plasma splash screen) - but of course it’s a bit risky, as soon as you get into more complex works, and them potentially being re-used after you publish them - where people that put it online orgininally, did so with more complex CC licenses, or no public licensing at all.

        Just as a heads-up in general. I, personally, think it’s better to err on the side of being creative when sharing things - but the reality is, of course, that with a bit of bad luck, licensing stuff can get quite complicated down the road. (Highly doubtful for something like this, though)
