Would this one be legal?

It's from this website and they say that even commercial use would be allowed.

Also this one would be nice for signing:
Also available in blue:

From this ressource, though they only talk about embedding.

Have a nice journey.

clker.com states in their terms that any material uploaded needs to be in the public domain, so the sign language icon is OK. (Though they both made me go "what's HP gotta do with sign language!?" for a moment. ::) )

Icons-Land, however, distributes their flags as linkware, i.e., you have to provide a link back to them "with credits" (prevents just making the icon itself into a link) wherever the icon shows up. Hence the verbiage around the one I put on the wiki.

Uhm, I guess I understood that the resource for the Irish flag is not valid. The rest.... erm well. I'm not that good about the little traps in copyrights on the internet. I downloaded a flagset to my computer, but as Uploading is no opportunity either, I fear I have to search further. What kind of Licence would I have to look for?

Edit: this one is from a public domains website.. This might be better? Though the actual shape is not 16*16

IIUC Eich already has a set of national flags available from famfamfam, just didn't install them all right away. I grabbed the same *.zip for potential use, and there seems to be an ie.gif and an ie.png included ... ?

Apparently, I already had the flag listed in my super secret forum files, I just forgot to upload it.
It's in the site now.  :ireland:
Sign language one is too big.  Any chance somebody could scale those?  I have no knowledge for that.
Feel free to PM.

Well I've tried. Maybe it should be just a little bit bigger, eh?



Also, any chance of having Ukrainian flag? I suspect I'm the only one who needs it here, but still, that would be very nice of you  :)

UPD (didn't want to post a tiny message separately): Thanks a lot, Eich!

Um, I feel kind of bad for being so pushy, but could the discussion on height be chopped off from the introduction thread? Starting from around hereabouts, but still keeping PzKw IV G's introduction in its proper place?

I'm not sure if that discussion warrants its own thread, or is more of a General-Discussion-y type topic.

How about making it a general "how do you look"-thread? (The new thread where I'll move the posts, ofc.)

I guess that's okay (I really don't have any better ideas...)

That sounds fun, actually.
Maybe I'll take a... selfie.  Who knows?

The Scriptorium thread is having a discussion on referring to female superiors, should we move it?
