[Clipart] Contributions to the library

[Martin Holmes]

Hi there,

We are the UVic Humanities Computing and Media Centre, so if we decide 
to contribute them, we can put them in the public domain. The artists 
were working under workstudy contracts under which they explicitly 
relinquished rights to their work.

I will have to run this by my bosses if we decide to contribute them, 
but I don't anticipate any problems. The biggest difficulty for us would 
be finding the manpower to do the conversions and convert all our 
metadata to your system; we might not be able to do that for some time, 
unfortunately.

Cheers,
Martin
