What did they say in those places?
Can you use them without modification?
Can you re-license them or do you have to follow a specific license?
Can you redistribute them in modified form? (for you did)
Classic questions answered in a license - or a FAQ.

The problem with just grabbing images off the web is that it pushes the limits of "fair use" law, especially because we redistribute (and even sell) vegastrike without much of a clear indication of the source of our material.
Basically, I would reccomend staying away from copyrighted material that has no free license attatched. Public domain images are best- after that, GPL/GFDL and loose Creative Commons pictures should be okay. (I'm thinking any license that would be GPL compatible, so it' can't be non-commercial or no-derivatives only.)
I'm not 100% sure of the official policy on this- but all of the cargo images that I contributed way back when were PD or GFDL. For all I know, there could be "vanilla" copyrighted material in the current dataset- but if there is, we should probably be working to remove it instead of adding more.
