I fear this isn't the case :-( Basically the (Belgian) law says that a 
citation is only acceptable for things like giving a critic on something, for 
educational or scientific purposes, for a review, etc.
For those interested in the specifics and speaking Dutch, you can find the law 
at
http://www.juridat.be/cgi_loi/loi_N.pl?cn=1994063035 (there's a French version 
under 'Franstalige versie')
It's article Art. 21 that refers to citation.

Of course :)

The problem is that we can't (well we can, but the results wouldn't be good, I 
fear) update the image from one thread for the effects and at the same time 
paint on it from the GUI thread. So we'd require some locking, which in it's 
most basic sense would be that we don't paint on it while we do the physics 
filter. So that specific solution would only add complexity and add no real 
added 'interactive' painting to the timers... :-(
