Sorry for the confusion, all of this was written somewhere but I guess I accidentally deleted it or it's just buried in this this site somewhere.
Notch wrote the code using Nintendo assets to make a Marioesque game. He ultimately released the code as public domain along with a note stating that someone should replace the artwork since it belongs to Nintendo.
This is what I did.
My kids and I made up all of the charachters (except for Tux) and replaced the Nintendo
Sprites with same sized sprites so that there wouldn't be a need to alter the code. Everything was drawn by me even the fonts.You can do what you please with the artwork, it's GPL 3.
I made it a point not to have the artwork resemble anything created by Nintendo(at least anything I could recall) so that there wouldn't be any sort of doubt. This is one of the reasons the game is weird.
I did not create any of the sounds or music, this I downloaded from this site and a few others. I am currently in the process of crediting each author personally but all are credited in a credits file in the root directory.
In theory you can take the original code notch provided , delete the resources folder and replace it with the one from infinte tux and make it all open source.
I downloaded the code from cflewis's github account and created infinite tux on mine.
Comapre the resource folders for both projects and you'll see that there is no Nintendo in the artwork.
I'll paste my github repo because it's free but cflewis's you'll have to find.

I hope this clears things up.
Hi,
Greaet work. I've used some of your stuff for a game I replaced all of the proprietary stuff with.
