With regard to Disney raiding the public domain, I say great, let them do it. Not becauase I particularly like Disney, but rather because they're primarily responsible for the fact that copyright keeps getting extended indefinitely. If they start raiding the current public domain, that's another talking point for returning copyright law to a reasonable length of time. (Sure, most of their stories come from raiding the public domain as it is, but that's old stuff. It would be another matter entirely if any of the authors were still around to discuss their views on Disney's hypocricy with respect to copyright.)
You might want to reformat your original post so that it's not a clickable link, that way google doesn't give them even more hits. I think removing the http will work.
For anyone looking at the preview, it's not obvious how extensive this set is until you view the download PNG. It's 100+ unique pieces, done in 12 different materials.
I don't really want this ball in my court, since it's not my art. If it were up to me (legally it isn't), I would not in any circumstance ever go after anyone just for using the same color palette that I used in a work. From my limited understanding of copyright law, I do not believe that simply using the same palette as someone else infringes on copyright, regardless of license, and I haven't seen any credible evidence to the contrary. We really could use an opinion on this from someone who is versed in copyright law.

I know I'm blathering a lot here...

Wow!

I just found a video of this game on youtube and I left a comment, hoping that the author of the video is the author of the game.
I don't think there's a whole lot that can be done about them lifting your title. :(
I think the problem is a lack of textures?
Greets!
Is there somewhere I could download your game to try it out?
On that note, can anyone see any sort of contact information?
I'll send them a polite message asking them to attribute properly.
Oh, fun. :)

Also, you're welcome to add a note to your description that the tiles are additionally available under the MIT license.
The reason we removed it is because the submit page was already too complicated and hardly anyone ever used MIT.
