Awesome splash image!

Heh, its great, thanks. So far what I've been doing for
grub-splashimages package was to request authors to insert into the xpm
file a GPL C Header since xpm files are ASCII-text and accept C99
comments (I explain this now on the HOWTO you've read). Would it be
technically legal for you to do that for your splash image?

Why thank you Roger :), glad it was useful.

Looking forward to seeing some more splashimages from you,

	Luis
