[Clipart] Licence problems?

Hello,

As long as I have understood, the OCAL website shouldn't be considered as in 
its final state. It's in current development (there's a migration of the 
backend).

You could use the icons set of either the applications using GTK which are 
considered as belonging to the Gnome environment, or the icons set ot the K 
applications using Qt which belong to the KDE environment.

I don't know if the G icons are SVG or bitmap, but it seems that for the 
K-apps everything is in SVG.

For licensing issues about these sets of icons I don't know.
(It seems it hasn't been included (as file or as links) in OCAL yet.)
What I can say is that I have seen the K icon set used in proprietary 
softwares yet. I don't know if it is legal or not. If it is public domain 
like OCAL, it is.

It is simple: everything in the OCAL (Open Clip-Art Library) is Public-Domain
CC-pd  ::  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain

If you have suggestions to do about the design of the OCAL devel web-site, 
I guess the development team would be pleased to get these, but do suggestions 
about the devel one (not the old one):
