These were all my original artwork. Image deletion being what it is, I apparently have no way to review the edit history, but my possibly faulty recollection is that they were all uploaded using what was the proper licensing language at the time; that is, I _believe_ that they all said "Copyright (c)1998 by Daniel P.

You can review the edit history, but it's a little contrived. Go to answers.com and find the page; load those images; follow the Wikipedia link, and you'll be able to read the deleted revisions of the image description, at least if you're an admin. (The "upload this file" thing at Wikipedia makes getting this option tricky)
All seem to have been tagged "For a forthcoming article on eyeglass prescriptions". The only one to have a copyright description as above (well, 2004 not 1998) was also tagged {{GFDL}}, and is still there.
