Sorry guys, I thought I attached the file but I guess I didn't. Anyway
here is my correspondence with him.
This was concerning my FreeBSD Wallpaper site,
http://picasaweb.google.com/randy.belk/FreeBSDWallpaper.
Sorry for the plug, ;-)

Your usage of the BSD Daemon in this context is acceptable.
Please note however that many of the variations that are
used on the wallpaper designs are not owned by me. They have
been created by other people and I do not have the right to
grant your use of those variations on the BSD Daemon. When
you grab a wallpaper to add to your collection you should
ensure that the person that you got it from allows it to be
redistributed.
