The author's permission:
"Permission to use and/or modify this image is granted provided you
acknowledge me lewing@isc.tamu.edu and The GIMP if someone asks."

This is the author's explicit permission, not a Creative Commons license
or a claim that the artwork is public domain. It covers this original image,
not unrelated Tux artwork or a later vector tracing.

Changes: Sharp converts the original 258x303, single-frame GIF to PNG without
resizing, retaining transparency. The production StandardMode then converts
the sampled image to ASCII. The compact preview is 40 columns by 26 rows;
the full-size preview is generated separately at 100 columns.
ASCII Art Generator made these lossy adaptations, not Larry Ewing.

Compact Copy, TXT and PNG exports include credit. After editing in the image
editor, add the credit back yourself; its exports do not add it automatically.
No author or Linux-project endorsement is implied.
