I read that as "if Todd (assuming Todd has your permission to do so)
let me use them" I would use them. Or, more broadly, "since this is
something people are already asking for, and since I've already put a
ton of work into putting together the other parts of this Gallery
which is probably the coolest thing people have seen in a long time,
sure, I'd make use of those images and save myself a little time, and
at the same time provide people with high-quality images - IF it's ok
with the person (people) who made the images."

I read what Larry wrote. I'm not a lawyer, though, so I don't really
have much of an opinion. What he says seems well-thought-out, but who
knows.

And I'm sure we all can appreciate the work you've put into it, just
like we can appreciate all the work lots of people have put into
sites, programs, etc that we've all come to know and love.
**If** the Lego Group issues aren't really an issue, this seems to
mainly boil down to a sharing/respect issue. We've seen Kevin (and
Todd and others) be respectful and sharing before, especially in the
interest of doing cool things for the community. Not sure why this
would be very different, but then again, it's not my stuff or my work
that went into it, so I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do with
it.
I'll like the Gallery whether it continues to have one minifig image
for everyone or many images from which to choose, including those we
might provide for ourselves. The functionality is what really
matters, although the decoration would make it more
interesting/pleasing to look at and work with.
