Calm. Down. Now.

What you have done is like taking a painting and painting over the
signiture.

Firstly, the people whose pictures you 'stole' (such an emotive word,
let's replace it) the people whose pictures you used (much better) own
(as in intellectual property) their art.

Using David Palmer's self-portrait is very much like using another
person's picture. I don't think you should use that one at all, but
maybe if you asked him very, very nicely he'd let you.

As to the other pictures, there is a convention here that states that
you may use any picture posted here as long as you retain the artists
signiture. For the pictures that you posted, if you post a message
asking who drew them, then you should get a reply if anyone knows.
Indeed, Andreas Freise has already told you who the artists of two of
the three pictures are.

If you draw your own pictures you have every right to give them away,
put them under the GPL, decree that no-one may use them under any
circumstances ever, or do anything with them that you want. However
the simple face of the matter is that you should (by law, and most
prevailant systems of morality) respect the rights of those who
created what you're using.

So, play nice, and no more sanctimonious, self obsessed messages huh?
