Interesting theory, but looking at the graphics closely reveals that they're not the same. In particular Greenland is much fatter in MorphOS mask.png, and Kashmir region is dithered in AROS one (indicating the dispute between Pakistan and India and their respective time zones GMT+5.5 and GMT+5 hours), whereas the MorphOS one uses single color.
They are largely the same. Of course some editing was/is necessary to have a good match with the corresponding earthmap image. The "source" timezone image on which the AROS one is based required heavy editing itself because of all the text/outline "overlay" which was there. Some rectangular areas (some islands in the middle of the oceans) were replaced by random hand painted pixel shapes. In the MOS timezone mask image there are pixel perfect copies of this.
This is no complaint or accusation. I have no problem whatsoever with this. The point is just that I find it a bit silly to require crediting/permission/copyright mention/hand rewriting of headers/... from others for every little thing which is freely accessible anyway, if you know that by looking hard (or not so hard) you probably will find cases where your "side" didn't always follow these rules either each and every time for every stupid thing.
