NO, this is an independent project.
However, is true that some contributors to Open Clip Art Library are 
also contributors to OpenOffice.org (like me for example)

Because we think there are some legit uses for those images - for 
example in a videogame or a history study.
Fell free to submit clipart representing AK-47 (anecdote: AK-47 is the 
only weapon i used ever, in my army duty), T-34, MiG 21 or whatever, we 
will gladly accept it.

Nope, removing them would be censorship.
We believe in free speech, got in the past similar requests for 
historical flags, body parts, religious symbols, etc. and resisted them.

You see to much into this, those images have no politicall meaning at 
all, we are a software and art project, composed from people from all 
the world, we don't endorse the policy of any state.
Personally, i am against USA war against the entire world but this is a 
matter completely unrelated to our project here.
