if you do it for yourselves you will not have a problem. it will be though when you distribute it to some one else,eg; use for the forum
Good point Padresag. I had looked up "derivative works" to make sure we would not be infringing there either. This is another article that I had read regarding that. I meant to post it earlier too, just got sidetracked and forgot. http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ14.pdf

The entire article is about registering Derivative works, but gives a good definition and examples on the first page of what a "derivative work" is. I still think we are just fine, but going over the different possible problems is definitely a good thing!
