I was looking through the archive and came across this file:
http://openclipart.org/media/files/SABROG/7307
The author who uploaded this lied about its legal status. It's not public domain; it's a registered trademark of Lionhead Studios, which is owned by Microsoft. If you visit their web site you can see it in their footer and as the favicon:
http://www.lionhead.com/
A give-away is the fact that the artist who uploaded it named the file "Black & White", which is the name of a game that Lionhead Studios produced a few years back.
I'm not affiliated with Lionhead Studios or Microsoft, but I thought I should report it anyway. I'd rather not see the OCAL get in legal trouble. I recommend removing the file and hoping nobody else notices.
Hope this helps.
