I'm glad to know that all parties seem to have resolved this situation amicably.
As a reminder to all: ALL flags and sails submitted to the User Content system, whether approved or not, become property of Flying Lab Software. Copying of such by anyone besides Flying Lab staff for game or related use is strictly forbidden.
Also, the best response to someone "stealing" "your" work is NOT to post comments in their submission OR to open a thread in these fora. The ONLY proper response is to PM Aether or one of the 2D Steering Committee (Emwsand, Sadet, Toshiro, or myself) directly and privately.
With that, I'm closing this thread again, as I'd opened it to accommodate a request to post an apology.
