<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Yes, we have gotten takedown requests from copyright owners before because of things like this. And we comply with them too, when the request is reasonable.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">For the image in question, the use of that image is not a reasonable use nor a fair one. The image has nothing to do with the theme. It's simply a large banner that takes up most of the screen. In fact, it's detrimental to the theme, because it hides a lot of the layout because of it's size.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Find a free image. There's plenty out there that look good.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">If you're having a hard time, take a look through matt's gallery for an image you can use. We have a tendency to steal images from matt all the time for screenshots and banners and so forth. He never seems to complain. ;) <a href="http://ma.tt/gallery">http://ma.tt/gallery</a></div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">As for the Unit Tests, if there are images that have licensing problems, then by all means, those problems can be corrected. However, we're not displaying the unit tests as part of something to promote something else. This is also less visible and less likely to cause complaints from copyright owners, but yes, those should be using all free images as well.</div>
