The license expired AFAIK a couple of years ago, but not the license is 
the problem.

The goal of the project is to collect clipart images in *vector* format, 
we accept raster images mostly with the intention to have them as a 
reference when someone will want to create a vector version of them (it 
seems we don't do a good job explaining this on the front page).

On a tangent, converting an image from GIF to indexed PNG has no quality 
loss, the file size resulted is smaller and the image is supported just 
as well on all web browsers (Internet Explorer has problems with PNG 
images using alpha transparency, not with indexed colors)
