- From a legal perspective the easiest way for you to ensure that you may put screen shots of FG you made on your page is to put them under the GPL. One may consider a screen shot as a derivative work of FG as FG is used for creation and for example it's textures are part of the picture. So if you put your screen shots under GPL, too, you should not have to worry about any problems. This is _if_ FG authors do even have some rights to screen shots you made. For screen shots you didn't make yourself you'd just have to ask the one who did for permission. This has nothing to do with the authors of FG itself. The screen shot producer has to clear that himself. > Hell... I've even got a picture that Martin posted a while back of him > and a plane, amongst alot of others...

Better: use the GPL, so it will for sure be no problem using GPL'ed resources. But of course: the only answers you'll get that you may depend on are the one from a lawyer.
