I spend a good amount of way too much time playing around with making icons, and honestly, even I don't see what the big deal with credit. If I saw someone using one of my icons, I wouldn't really care. Even if they "credited" themself, I don't think I would raise a fuss, because if they need to do that to feel good about about their person, then damn they need the credit a lot more than I do. 0.o
Fan art, I can understand to some extent because that's your work, but even then I think I would be flattered that someone like my art that much to use it.
I'unno, I'm really hangloose anyway, so I'm probably not a good one to opinionize on the issue. 8P
