[Open-access] FOSsil Bank Update (25 February 2014)

[Chris Sakkas]

Hi folks,

It's been two and a half months, so there's quite an amount of updates
stored up. I've splitted this update in two - I'll post the second half
next week.

Thanks to *Leonard Kirke* who identified several CC0 works and sources to
be added to the FOSsil Bank. Remember that you can always send me details
of libre works that are missing from the FOSsil Bank if you don't feel
comfortable adding them yourself.

In a review of 2013 in tabletop gaming, open licensing got a mention:
