Port Map homepage background pirated from The Scumm Bar

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The background image at http://www.codingmonkeys.de/portmap/index.html has been 
ripped 
straight from http://www.scummbar.com/, a site that has been operating for many 
years.  Given 
the nautical/slightly piratey theming on the port map page, that might be 
appropriate in an ironic 
way.  But otherwise not good practice from professional software developers.

I am not associated with scummbar.com in any way, except as a past reader.

I wasn't aware that the background image originiated from scummbar, when I 
first used it. I just thought it 
would be a nice nod to Monkey Island, a game that continues to inspire us.

When alerted to the fact a few days ago, I asked in an associated IRC channel 
who might be the right person 
to contact about asking if the artwork originated at scummbar.com, apologize 
and clear up usage rights. The 
channel quickly and very friendly advised whom to contact, but wasn't sure 
about the origins of the artwork 
either.

I have not heard back yet, but even if I had, I guess the assumptions about the 
use of the image will probably  
be the worst either way, even if we had official permission. I will try to 
replace the image asap.
