The issue is that people can easily copy it because it's on the web...
However it would be nice if they were aware of the copyrights issue's and requested permission if they wanted to do something with it.

Thanks for looking at it and your apreciation!

Yeah. Well. Aren't they all? A copyright is an inalienable right
granted upon creation to the creator (creatress? :). Been awhile
and IANAL but I believe you can only transfer or grant exploit and
distribution rights. E.g. to the company one works for.

Another aspect is that the prototypical FreeBSD daemon also is
copyrighted. Yet distribution has been granted on certain terms.

There are also trademark laws, one can trademark an image. Then,
naturally, there satirical uses. And...

Like with all legal things, it's a mess out there <g>.

But they are nice drawings, indeed!
