I'm fairly sure that all of Teeworlds' material can be used else where, if given credit, since Teeworlds is an open source. But, officaly, I'm not sure. hmm

Give others the respect you wish to be respected with. In the mean time, enjoy the website!

As stated here, you can use them anywhere you want, credits would be nice, but aren't necessary. But you mustn't claim that you made those graphics.

Being an open source, there are still various levels of licensing.  We have the general public license and a lot more.  There are various jurisdictions appended to it depending on what is applicable.  But even coming from a open source, you can still repackage what you did as proprietary though citations will still be needed. I am not quite sure though what is applicable here.

We've a license which says it pretty clear:
