+Here's the file to list the authors of the pictures
+
+b001.jpg, r001.jpg:
+ Eyewire Catalogue, 1999 or before. It should be checked
+ whether there still exists a copyright on this, because
+ the original provider has disappeared (bankruptcy??)
+ several years ago.
+
+babbage.jpg :
+ (check provenance)
+Charles Babbage (1791-1871) is widely regarded as the first computer pioneer and
+the great ancestral figure in the history of computing. Babbage excelled in a variety of
+scientific and philosophical subjects though his present-day reputation rests largely
+on the invention and design of his vast mechanical calculating engines. His
+Analytical Engine conceived in 1834 is one of the startling intellectual feats of the
+nineteenth century. The design of this machine possesses all the essential logical
+features of the modern general purpose computer.

+ NASA (?)
+
+lada.jpg:

+
+lena.jpg:
+ Lena Sjööblom Soderberg, centerfold of Playboy 1972.11.
+ Researchers in infographics have extensively used that
+ picture without necessarily asking for copyright, and
+ apparently Playboy doesn't mind.

+ original source (?)
+ by Stephanie Brodeur and Darsha Hewitt, 2006
+
+teapot.png:
+ Researchers in infographics have also extensively used
+ that picture (actually the wireframe model). This is
+ (afaik) the original model, produced in the 1970's (?)
+ by one such researcher, and then was rendered in the
+ 1990's using the Povray raytracer, and then bundled as
+ teapot.ppm in Tcl/Tk, and finally in 2001 I grabbed
+ that picture
+
+test.mpeg:
+ unknown origin. Too small to be copyrightable.
+
+tux.tga.gz:
+ unknown origin.
