Great, good idea, you cannot do worse than what I did.

No, gcompris is always in 800x600 (800x520 for the board area).
Then the canvas itself resize everything if you select another
resolution. Of course, it looses quality. At the code level of image
level, it is always 800x600.

We need to have the usage and redistribution rights for any images we
include and keep track though README files of the origin of the images.
This may be public domain, GPL or any free art license like creative
commons (cc) (http://creativecommons.org/).
Avoid image libraries because they all have in little pring
redistribution limitation.
