My 2c/ worth. The ascii art I do is FREEWARE, done for fun not profit,
but that doesn't mean I give up all rights to it.  Perhaps we should 
all put a notice on our pages:

 "This art is FREEWARE, and may be reproduced freely without charge 
  provided the original maker's initials are retained on it."

It *IS* done for fun, we shouldn't get all heavy about it, but it
is polite to credit people who were talented and generous enough
to create neat free stuff for you to use.  Otherwise you might 
put them off doing it in future.


It would be nice if SigZag included a similar notice, and initails
where known.  This would not be too hard of regulars looked it over 
and provided initials for their own, or well-known, work.
