This point brings to mind my early days on the internet in the 90s,
working side jobs creating simple websites and making ugly websites
less ugly. I had all sorts of graphics creating packages that I
somehow acquired in some fashion or another. Never having been a
professional graphic artist (nor having any ambitions as such) I
myself took pride that images I created were appearing (unattributed)
on other people's websites. I neither made money from them nor
intended to and wasn't suffering for the loss of income or attribution.
