Nontheless, if it's copyrighted, we can't include it. 
 
The copyright holder send me a kind email and seems very reasonable.  He says 
he'd consider allowing free use with attribution.  I told him that since OCAL 
is public domain we can't ensure attribution will follow the image, and as such 
it should be removed. 
 
It is my understanding that we don't yet have a section for works under other 
licenses such as the creative commons attribution licences (although I think it 
has been discussed on the mailing list before?).  If we had such a section it 
might be possible to introduce the clipart there, although we should consult 
the original author first (Hans-Juergen Ellenberger, Germany 
<ELOFE[at]aol.com>).
