the first links i tried were not public domain.

we are going offtopic here, but anyway - one of my private edification - even
if you were lawyer, it won't be much of help ;) before solving this i tried to
understand how is it with copyrights when you make your own picture based on
another one and looking on the various cases "somebody VS Jeff Koons" the whole
distinction between transformative vs derivative work seems to be question of
interpretation done by court, so you never know ;)
not to speak that i have no idea which laws should we abide... we are no company
registered in some particular country.
