Source: TODO.md, "Found while writing the manual" -> "Defects with no prior entry", item 17 (at bbb7b8f)

tests/assets/World_A1.png and util/assets/Actor1.png carry the default
filenames of RPG Maker's bundled art and ship with no license file, while
tests/assets/akgl_test_mono.ttf sits beside akgl_test_mono.LICENSE.txt.

RPG Maker's bundled assets are licensed to users of that product; redistributing
them inside a C library is not something that license covers.

The tutorial assets under docs/tutorials/assets/ deliberately do not depend on
either file, and tests/docs_setups/tilemap.sh says why it stages a different
image -- so the exposure is limited to the two fixtures and the maps that
reference them.

Closing this means replacing two fixtures and the maps that reference them.
Every other asset in the tree has its license beside it; these two are the
exception, and they are the two that cannot stay.

Files: tests/assets/World_A1.png, util/assets/Actor1.png, and the maps referencing them
