I'll quote the mockup: "The Open Clip Art Library is an archive of user 
contributed illustrations that are freely licensed as CC-Attribution or 
placed into the Public Domain..."

It was my understanding that OCAL only accepted PD works. Has that 
changed, or is the mockup in error?

Also, why is the text of the site CC-BY under the new design when it's 
just PD now? Do we really need a license change? Part of the appeal of 
OCAL, in my opinion, is that it removes any and all license problems 
(mostly license compatibility) that CC-BY, GNU FDL create in in these 
situations.
