I'm sure he's indeed a very nice guy, but whether it was his intention or
not, he *did* do it. I don't see any credit on the images I know were taken
from SWoC, and unlike the case wth Bryan B, he didn't even bother linking
back.

I put up my image use policy on each page, and as a condition I request that
clearance be obtained both from me and the original submitter. He may have
asked Dan to use the image, but he certainly didn't credit him, and I know he
didn't credit or ask me. I get plenty of image use requests, so it's not
as if the policy is opaque or ill-advertised.

Whatever his intentions are, his actions are strictly parasitic and
should not be encouraged.
