I know that a fair bit of 1's artwork was done in PS but i don't know
about the other stuff.
I think that plymouth is clean in both senses of the word, if the logo
and background are fine then so is ksplash. The screensavers are
mostly from me, and I have/had permission for cc-by-sa for the ones
that weren't.
I think that bootsplash is the same, as it is the background and some
home made graphics.
