I haven't looked at it, but I do _not_ agree that "different enough" is
OK. If a copyrighted work by Microprose was used as the original, it is
not OK, no matter how much extra pixels you add to it.

When it comes to the largely theoretical copyright infringements done by
HiRes to a multitude of unknown, uncaring and untracable photograph
copyright owners, I totally do not care, but when it comes to the
copyrights owned by a commercial game company which could claim to have
been economically harmed by our use, then I will insist on absolutely _no_
tolerance for infrigements.

Yours,
