I'm maintainer of grub-splashimages. This image form Massimo C.
Maggioni was forwarded to me by previous maintainer of this package -
Luis R. Rodriguez (I adopted it). I add this image along with another
from Massimo when adopting package. Today I searched my archive and
find mail from Massimo to Luis. It looks like it is mummy from Iron
Maiden poster. Hovewer I'm not sure why Massimo put free license in
its header, this looks like derivative work.

I hope he will answer and we will have a clear look at this problem.
If this image is really copyrighted (and I personally think it is) I
have to remove it from Debian package.

Thanks for pointing out this problem. Bug tracking system is, in my
opinion, the best place to report such findings.
