Hello!

I am a new subscriber to the mailing list. I am finding that the artwork needed is material dedicated to the public domain. Are you also looking for other content licensed in, say, the Creative Commons or other types of licensing? Also, in terms of formats, SVG is the primary format needed? What about bitmap content?

Thanks!
