Hello.

- From http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html#PrivateSoftware:

  In general we do not believe it is wrong to develop a program and
  not release it.  There are occasions when a program is so useful
  that withholding it from release is treating humanity badly.
  However, most programs are not that important, so not releasing them
  is not particularly harmful.  Thus, there is no conflict between the
  development of private or custom software and the principles of the
  free software movement.

However, we would be opposed if what you meant is you released such
code but not as free software; I.e: as proprietary software.

> both the Lua script and a png image are totally equivalent,
> containing the same information

If this PNG image is the source code form I think it's fine to include
the script to extract it instead of the image itself.  Excuse me, from
your former message it wasn't clear to me whether this is the case.

On the technical side: Have you considered the other way?.  To include
the PNG images and a script to make the Lua string.

Thanks for your understanding.
