</div></div></blockquote><div>You can leave a comment on the clipart in question, and the author will be able to see it in their clipart manager. If they read that, that is another story. We are working to get email functionality because author contacting is crucial, but it might be awhile until that is implemented.<br>

I wanted to use a clipart of Gerald_G for this stamp. So I sent the clipart to a stamp-shop, but the shop-owner is not sure, if commercial use of the clipart is allowed, so I need a confirmation from the author, that I am allowed to produce the stamp respectively that the shop-owner is allowed to sell a stemp, that uses the clipart from Gerald_G.</span></p>

</div></div></blockquote><div>You did all the right things. As Oleg said, by default, most of the clipart on OCAL are in the Public Domain, or under the CC0 declaration. <br>Two questions:<br><ul><li>What clipart are you wanting to use?</li>
<li>What nationality is the shop-owner? Maybe we can google translate a letter (from OCAL or Gerald_G himself) to the shopkeeper, explaining a little about public domain?</li></ul><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
