AFAIK the data was taken from Stellarium. Stellarium is under the GPL but 
there is no specified license for the constellation files. It should be safe to 
assume they are under the GPL too but it does not hurt to ask the Stellarium 
people.

In case this is not sorted out by the freeze we could still offer the 
additional constellation thought GHNS. Though i would prefer them to be 
shipped with kstars. I think the patch should be merged ASAP, the remaining 
problems are really just bugfixes i think.
