I'll let Todd comment authoritatively, it's his stuff, but I do think
that you raise a good point, perhaps GPL would be better suited here (it
allows the sorts of mods you envision)? But his terms are easier to
grok. GPL is a bit much for the beginning webmaster to internalize,
nicht wahr?

I take it you agree with my points about your example, though...

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?

I agree with your point. I should not have had an example like that... I should have just used bricks-white-40.jpg or foo.bar like Bram did. -- dave (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.publish)
