Indeed, they must be proprietry. So I wondered whether their use in diagrams that apparently were uploaded as screenshots from Zillions are legal here. I can imagine the Zillions license explicitly allows posting of screenshots, which is sort of advertizing for them. An Interactive Diagram would be more like a competitor, though. The general rule is that when there is no explicit license to copy, it is not allowed.
I agree we don't really need that piece set, which I don't particularly like anyway. But when I replace the setup diagram of an article by an I.D., I try to make it as similar as possible to the original. This is not strictly necessary, but when there also are other images in the article (e.g. move diagrams, or positions from a sample game, as is rhe case here), it looks ugly when they use different piece sets.
The style of this ZoG set looks different from most other sets, as it shows entire pieces rather than symbolic top parts. I could use Galactic as a replacement, which also does that. But I like that piece set even less. It seems the ZoG set only supports orthodox pieces, so it should not be too much work to create a set in a somewhat similar style in SVG. Perhaps I should do that.
