I've been told (though I haven't seen for myself) that the ray-traced
are Amiga-formatted versions of pictures that are on the MicroVAX demo
tapes (note that Dave works for DEC...).  As such, it is possible that
either they are public domain, or that Dave is not the original creator
anyway (not that I don't thank Dave for converting them to Amiga and
then posting them!).  It's possible, in other words, that EA hasn't really
done anything wrong this time...
