Yes, this is an error in the FAQ. We used to accept both tarballs and 
zips and the plan is to have them working again, but currently it does 
not work.

Indeed, quite painful when someone has to upload *a lot* of files at 
once, I feel your pain.

No, we won't have namespace collisions: your username is added to the 
file name to avoid this (and I believe also a number it the combination 
of username and filename already exist, but I'm not very sure about this).

By submitting a file to the Open Clip Art Library you are agreeing to 
release it as Public Domain, so no license statement is needed. The very 
first paragraph on the website is:

"This project aims to create an archive of user contributed clip art 
that can be freely used. All graphics submitted to the project should be 
placed into the Public Domain according to the statement by the Creative 
Commons."

Do you think it is not visible enough and we should make it more prominent?
