              i think most of them come standard when you buy a vB license.

                  Most of them are freely available from other sites. I don't know about custom ones like (if that one IS custom)

                          Yes, they are all copyrighted to their original creator.

                          The fact they are available 'freely' means squatt, if someone can prove they were the original creator of them, in theory, they could bring a lawsuit for copyright violation.

                                  Indeed, GFY as well as other boards should put a copyright on their originally made emoticons.
