A WinAMP v2.9x Skin designed to 'suit' Tiggz' GT2 suite.

Drawn with: PSP 6.00, from original graphic segments from the GT2 Windowblinds Skin.

Permission.txt as follows, thanks, Matt....

[[[[[hehe, the GT2 machine rumbles on, seemingly without end...working on some
OD stuff right now as it goes

anyway, here is the permission:

Dear Paul,

feel free to upload the GT2 winamp skin, on the understanding that if some
rich madman or woman decides to donate a million dollars to you on the
strength of it I get half!

just kidding...I want 75%...

look forward to downloading it myself

Matt]]]]]

COPYRIGHTS:-
 You are free to use this skin/theme/system PRIVATELY in any way you choose.
 However if you wish to upload/publish a variation of the included artwork or theme
 coding, then written permission must be obtained from me AND Tiggz, prior to this,
 and due credit to the theme-coding/graphics' originator/s MUST be included with your
 release.  Anything less is called 'ripping', which is a trendy term for theft.

There you go....a simple permission given to me by Matt [Tiggz] way back in 2003 with regards to an old WinAMP skin I did which used the graphics [by Tiggz] for GT2 .... one of the 'better' Windowblind skins [ever].

This one is not complicated/difficult as we [both] are members of Wincustomize.com and "everyone" knows us both.

However....

Many times you [the skinner] will source your graphics/inspiration/whatever from outside wherethe original author may be unknown [to us here] so it is IMPERATIVE that verifiable permission is documented and included with any subsequent upload.

The reason for including the permission WITH the file is that subsequent downloaders receive a copy of the permission.txt so potential subsequent re-use or redistribution issues are more likely to be able to be resolved.

The ideal method of verification is via email/s [including addresses - assuming parties are OK with that], and the reason for 'verifiable' documentation is to remove all doubt of impropriety on the part of the uploader.

The text file above was just the first I dug up.  I'll see if I have a more "appropriate" one for inclusion as an example.
