That sounds fare.
Um, does this mean if I would like to use it in a play by web game I should clear it with you?

Huuh ?? IMHO if a graphic set is released on the web players can use it at leisure *as long as* they use it unmodified and in its original package - ie I can use Atrocities' Trek race sets for my PBW races but should ask him if a I want to mix some of his ships with other graphics to make a "new" shipset or use say the ship bmps as components in a mod...

Thanks, Since for my home use I have changed the Race Portait I need to clear it with the creator first.
Sounds fare.
As for my question sounding strange, well, I have a very impulsive nature and am trying to be much more careful.

IMHO you can do what you want with these graphic FOR PRIVATE USE, i.e. at home or in your PBW game. However, you cannot distribute these pictures as your own or mix them up in a new way and distribute that.

High Gryphin,
I didn't mean any offence when replying, the "uuh"" was rather to express that I don't see why we should ask authorization to use published shipsets...
Neither do you have to ask anything if you tinker *privateky* with the graphics (this includes PBW) ! Only if you want to make modified sets public ...

No problem with your impulsiveness

Thanks,
No problem this time. You don't want to know what it has cost me in the past. (I try not to whine any more)

With women perhaps ?

Typically the difference comes in when the shipset is posted on PBW. If a shipset has been posted on PBW in the shipset libray, you can assume that the author has given his permission for it to be used in any PBW games. This isn't ALWAYS the case. I have one now that I need to remove becuase someone modified it and uploaded it without permission. But typically if it's on there you can use it without special permission.

Where you need permission with regards to PBW shipsets is if there is one that has not been posted and you want to use it in a game, you need to get permission before uploading it to the shipset file library. Just out of common curteousy.
