Do you mean the Insectoids stuff? That was before the Star Wars stuff came out.
Or do you mean the 'Space Port' theme? I'm guessing that doesn't count because
it's (sort of) based on real world stuff. Does a Space Shuttle or Apollo rocket
count as a 'space ship'? Dunno.
I imagine that the actual license, if it exists and has such a clause, is much
more specific about what a 'flying spaceship' is.
