Just out of curiousity...
why are the limitations to the lego backgrounds so restrictive?

Specifically- why do these two restrictions exist:
5. You may use only one of these images per HTML document.
6. You may not alter these binary image files in any way, including
   combining one or more images with each other or with other images.

For number 5, you couldn't do a page with a black brick background
and have a table with a light colored brick background, for example.

With number 6, you can't create new colors.  Which I think is rather
sad.
Nor could you combine two images and create a cool transition (either
horizontal or vertical) between two existing colors.

It's too bad one is prohibited from extending and enhancing the previous
work.
It would be a much friendlier policy that you could extend the work, but
must credit the source (fibblesnork), and that you can not profit from
any
derivative work.

This thread has probably already been hashed, right?

(...) Minor nit I just caught... This page, under the terms of use, is reachable from ANY page that uses the backgrounds that is in compliance with the terms of use, such as ANY of my pages. (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)
