Shopping carts and EULAs and needing to use a specialized Java applet
to access the files, that's your vision of what clip art should be
like?

The way our packages are licensed, if someone (you, Microsoft,
whoever) wants to take them and do stuff like that to them, they can,
but please leave me out of it; those ideals are not compatible with
the "Open" part of "Open Clip Art Library", and your visions of
shopping carts and needing specialized applets are nothing whatsoever
like my idea of what a useful clipart collection would be.
