Hi, Thanks to all who responded. I don't need any code, as I already use C++ code to generate an HTML table diagram from a position (using some black-and-white bitmaps that look a lot like book diagrams) and converting it to produce the diagrams shown here would take about 30 seconds. I just wanted to be sure of the copyright status of the images. Since it doesn't seem very clear, I think I'll look for other alternatives.
