Not our problem. If WKDesign don't want other sites using their clipart,
that's between WKDesign and Them. The geni's may be out of the bottles, but
we've corked ours. Miscommunications happen. Unfortunatly it happened here.
It's as "fixed" as much as I personally can make it. What other sites and
WKDesign want to do is up to them.


*The below settles it really. I'll go about removing them.*
Gerald is cleared of "wrong-doing" as it was all done in good faith. (Never
was any question really.)
The clipart is (-will be, once I've finished posting this) no longer on
OCAL,
We've done out part. It's the way the coin flip landed.

I will do so. Thanks for your reply.
Could you confirm to me that you uploaded them in the first place?

Hello sir

I am an admin for Open Clipart Library.

It has come to my attention that OCAL has some of your clipart in our
library.
There seems to be some mis-communication between the various viewpoints
in the discussion about these clipart. The Open Clipart Library is a
collection of User-submitted
clipart and every clipart submitted is to be dedicated under the Public
Domain license.
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/

Public Domain means anyone can use the clipart for *any use*, including
commercial use, logos, and anything else the end-user chooses to use the
clipart for. You uploaded the below files and they have the copyright sign
on the images, which is incompatible with the Public Domain licence. Some
users also state that you indicated they were not for commercial use, which
is also contrary to the Public Domain. Other users think you have released
these ones to OCAL for public domain use.

Could you please clarify if we are allowed to have these image on the Open
Clipart Library, released under the Public Domain?
Or would you like us to remove them, if they do not include commercial use?

Thank you for your time.
