Hi, 
IANAL but:
The artist on deviantart may be ok now with redistributing the palette, but 
before this is shipped, some lawyer should have a look at it.  While the 
colour data of a single colour is probably not copyrighted in most countries 
(The _use_ of certain colors in certain contexts may be protected, under 
trademark laws, for example.  But that doesn't matter here, I think.), the 
distribution of databases may be seen as original work and thus protected.  
And if the databases are not gatogirl12345's invention, GIMP might run into 
trouble.

Just my 2¢, 
Daniel
