File README-LEGAL.JPL of Package celestia
In previous builds of Celestia, map images and models taken from
http://maps.jpl.nasa.gov/ were removed due to unclear licensing. JPL has
provided clear licensing for these images. A copy of their license (taken
from https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/imagepolicy/ on 2020-July-13) is provided
below for convenience.

Note that all map images and models come from JPL directly, thus, the
"Special case" restricting commercial use does not apply.
