At this rate, this might go much faster...since everything is released
into the public domain, we can do whatever we want (legally)...but, good
to have old authors have ownership for their works...

If you guys want to lead this effort, this would be brilliant!

No we didn't...well, since we need to go through all the clipart and
clean it up anyway, this might just be the best approach...for
non-authors, we could create a user called anonymous, and then assign
all to that user...then, can allow an original author to re-upload and
take authorship over the original, or we can figure out a quick tool to
re-assign authorship...

Sound good? I think this sounds like a good approach if you guys have
the time for...I'll keep focusing on bugs...I've been lightly helping
with ccHost 5.0 release which should be in the next few days...
