In order to be available with KDE the artwork needs to be licensed under 
a compatible license. GPL and LGPL are ok, as well as some others. The 
way I propose doing this for art is the one used in libkmahjongg, if you 
guys agree:

Basically, create next to your mountain.desktop file another one with 
the copyright information, called mountain.copyright. This makes things 
clearer for everyone. Agreed?
