*sigh*

No.
1) GPL and LGPL are *not* "all is permitted" BSD-style licenses.  And you 
know it.

2) Public Domain is not a license.

3) Attribution licenses are *not* "all is permitted" licenses either.  They 
require attribution.

I am talking about a BSD-style license without attribution.  The kind that, 
in practice, permits everything that public domain, but the author still 
holds the copyright.

Attribution is not acceptable for clipart.
