Ok, I've left Merlin2525 a little message to contact me. I'll pass on the concern that he is using nonPD clipart and ask him to remove all the ones that have come from Non-PD sources.<br><br>Thanks for highlighting this.<br>

Maybe some attention should be paid also on Merlin2525's images. He has been<br>
uploading lots of raster graphics embedded in svg lately. In some descriptions<br>
he says that those are converted to svg using this site:<br>
  <a href="http://www.mobilefish.com/services/image2svg/image2svg.php" target="_blank">http://www.mobilefish.com/services/image2svg/image2svg.php</a><br>
Those raster images however are not converted to vector graphics, but just<br>
encoded in base64 and embedded in svg-file.<br>
<br>
Those images are mainly from Wikipedia. He claims that they are PD, but mostly<br>
they are not. Many of them are CC-by or CC-by-sa.<br>
