pretty much off the topic, but html can't be copyrighted, only the design of the page. So renderosity could copyright the yellow-linked message board, with the green "hotlinks" stripe down the right, but they couldn't copy right the html code saying how to do this. Kinda like an author can copyright a story, but they can't copyright the words used in the story, only the way that the words all fit together to make something else. Any chunk of HTML is fair-game to be used elsewhere, just as long as your page looks different in the end. in the store you're selling your changes to the models, not the models themselves. Kinda like a texture map, it's an addition to the model, not a replacement. SewerRat
