Ok, so if nobody finds an incompatibility with the GPL before Wednesday, 0:00 
GMT, the following license text will apply to the banner. Notice that it is 
in no way legally related to the FAL.

For the record, the original banner concept ("original" as defined in this 
document) is (C)2003 by myself and a copy of it is available freely on 
demand. The CG'ed banner thus falls under the "subsequent work" case and is 
thus covered by the same text, which should grant its use in GPL programs.

Lauwenmark's Artistic License 1.0:
——–
DEFINITIONS
- The work of art :
A communal work which includes the initial artwork as well as all
 subsequent contributions (subsequent originals and copies). It is created
 at the initiative of the original artist who, by this license, defines
 the conditions according to which the contributions are made.
- The original work of art :
 This is the artwork created by the initiator of the communal work, of
 which copies will be modified by whosoever wishes.
- Subsequent works :
 These are the additions put forward by the artists who contribute to the
formation of the work by taking advantage of the right to reproduction,
distribution and modification that this license confers on them.
- The Original (the work's source or resource) :
 A dated example of the work, of its definition, of its partition or of
 its program which the originator provides as the reference for all future
 updatings, interpretations, copies or reproductions.
- Copy :
 Any reproduction of an original as defined by this license.
- The author or the artist of the original work of art:
 This is the person who created the work which is at the heart of the
ramifications of this modified work of art. By this license, the author
determines the conditions under which these modifications are made.
- Contributor:
 Any person who contributes to the creation of the work of art. He is the
author or the artist of an original art object resulting from the
modification of a copy of the initial artwork or the modification of a
 copy of a subsequent work of art.
