What if they gave you permission?

That's not how I'm reading it - to me it appears that you can use Trinity graphics...

... providing that you don't make any profit out of the original package, any part of the original package, or any part of the results of your modifications.
I.e., your game must be freeware if you use anything from Trinity in it.

That's just common sense. C'mon poger825, most of these posts that you are making are mostly common sense questions, or you just did not put enough effort in finding the answer. Give a little more effort.

For the most part I agree.
However, if someone gives you permission to use their work, it is good business sense to get it in writing and then keep that permission. E-mail should be fine as long as it is from an e-mail address that is easily identifiable as from that person.
If you do not save, in writing, their permission and they later recant and/or say that they did not give you permission, you have no way to prove that you ever had permission in the first place. Thus you are bound by licensing not to use their products, etc.
Records are your friend in business. Get them and keep them.
