Although this image is listed as public domain, it might contain copyright palette information (but can you copyright a tint map??)  This makes me think about the following sentence from our policy page: "Although screenshots are OK, raw graphics from the IWADs are not." IANAL, nor can I speak for Fredrik's reasoning at the time of writing, but I can understand how a resource view (including something like this) would never be fair use, since by definition it has been reverse engineered from an IWAD, which is still proprietary.

There have been several inconclusive discussions about image copyrights (here is another one), and IMHO this wiki would benefit, in the long term, from a more detailed copyright policy. Any new input you can bring to that topic would be greatly appreciated. Ryan W 13:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
