I'm going to explain the basics of copyright, to avoid further confusion in the community.

Q - Do I own any copyrights on the graphics I make?
A - Not unless they are 100% your work. If they contain photographs/artwork/etc by other people, the graphics are not copyrighted to you, and you do not have any rights if the graphics are used by others

Thank you for posting that; I think you're a really great mod.

I felt it was necessary after a member decided to argue with me over having copyright on icons that were merely cropped photos with text slapped on.
