I wasn't trying to make you change you point. I just thought it was
funny that you (and others) chose Da Vinci's work to illustrate it.

Yes, you can use Da Vinci's work to do whatever you want. Be sure not
to use a reproduction of it because it will be probably copyrighted
by a photographer or a publisher.

That reminds me of this guy who wanted a tatoo of one of Escher's
work and asked permission for it. A phototgraph who wanted to make a
picture of this fellow to use as a postcard, had to ask him permission,
and Escher's family, and the tatoo artist too.


    Drop me a line if you want a
     tatoo of one of my ascii's.
