Would you say I've done bad?
P.S. It is really easy to ask permission to use someone's graphics and get them (I have permissions from MB, Simutrans artists, JP set devs, Oz, dmh_mac, BerberJesus, FIRS devs, Zimmlock, and may others). It would be a good solution to ask a permission if you've decided to use someone's graphics as parts or prototype. And always note about it in read me or on the site.
P.P.S. Every set I did has several persons in authors list. It means I've used somebodies art (with permissions, of cause). But I do not think it makes them worse. We all work for future of the TTD-world.
