Oh pluh-leeesse.
These fishies have been around for years!
These are the kind of things that one person
cannot take credit for...  kindof like a smiley/
emoticon.   or a flower @>-->------
When you get to a text picture of some
significant size, then perhaps you can
argue copyright.  As for these fish, I
think you ought to let others know that
they have been around for quite a while--
and will continue to be around - as others
"reinvent" them when trying to make a one
line fish (just how else could you make a
one-line fish?)
