I noticed that re-engine-RE2-0.17 includes re2/doc/xkcd.png file which comes from https://xkcd.com/208/ whose license is https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/ which prohibits a commercial use. That's prevents from redistributing re-engine-RE2-0.17 in Fedora Linux distribution.

Could you please remove that image from the next release, or negotiate a more free license https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/legal/allowed-licenses/ with XKDC author?

It's just a copy of upstream RE2, so I've deleted it to match what they did.
