RV,

You've spoken of the issue of referencing color maps. I'm not following you. What is your question?

Are you asking if it's ok to include the name of a 3rd party color map in your shader? If so, I'm telling you that I'm sure it is ok.

If you're asking if it's ok to re-distribute said color map, (modified or not) I'm telling you that I'm sure it is not ok.

Either way, there's no question, in my mind, yet you bring that up, so I'm confused.
