I'm not a lawyer, but I believe there is nothing bad about copying the game 
concept. 
After all there are a lot of games that copy another board games.
About the graphic files: I believe that it IS illegal. There are few possible 
solutions:
 1) we can use free graphics - but first we need someone that would draw the cards..
 2) we can put copyrighted content away from KBang. Users would simply need to scan 
the cards themselves.
 3) we can make a deal with DaVinci.

The other reason why to solve this problem is to allow KBang to be included 
into 
linux distributions.

Well, to be fair I believe the only reason this has gone on long enough as it 
is, is 
only because in a sense the creators of "Kbang" are basically advertising for 
DaVinci 
without DaVinci paying anything. Yeah its another way to play bang without 
actually 
buying it but im pretty sure if people come across this they will see it in 
stores one 
day and buy it.
