I've seen some comments stating that sharing pre-compiled packages
of yuzu is problematic for linux distributions due to some contents
having license of CC BY-ND 3.0
Better licensed sources of icons have been found for most cases,
see the changes to the .reuse/dep5 file for details.
Placeholders for connected/disconnected icons
At the time of writing I consider these icons to be placeholders,
hence three copies. colorful is grey, default is black, qdarkstyle is white
connected is gnome/16x16/network-idle.png with no changes
connected_notification is gnome/16x16/network-error.png with changes
disconnected is gnome/16x16/network-offline.png with changes
Looking at licenses: GNOME icon theme is distributed under the terms of either
GNU LGPL v.3 or Creative Commons BY-SA 3.0 license.
Debian appears to explicitly state they're licensing under
Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
From a tarball at the following link suggests we can just attribute GNOME Project
https://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-icon-theme/
When attributing the artwork, using "GNOME Project" is enough.
Please link to http://www.gnome.org where available.

[REUSE] is a specification that aims at making file copyright
information consistent, so that it can be both human and machine
readable. It basically requires that all files have a header containing
copyright and licensing information. When this isn't possible, like
when dealing with binary assets, generated files or embedded third-party
dependencies, it is permitted to insert copyright information in the
`.reuse/dep5` file.
Oh, and it also requires that all the licenses used in the project are
present in the `LICENSES` folder, that's why the diff is so huge.
This can be done automatically with `reuse download --all`.
The `reuse` tool also contains a handy subcommand that analyzes the
project and tells whether or not the project is (still) compliant,
`reuse lint`.
Following REUSE has a few advantages over the current approach:
- Copyright information is easy to access for users / downstream
- Files like `dist/license.md` do not need to exist anymore, as
`.reuse/dep5` is used instead
- `reuse lint` makes it easy to ensure that copyright information of
files like binary assets / images is always accurate and up to date
To add copyright information of files that didn't have it I looked up
who committed what and when, for each file. As yuzu contributors do not
have to sign a CLA or similar I couldn't assume that copyright ownership
was of the "yuzu Emulator Project", so I used the name and/or email of
the commit author instead.
