[Clipart] Kamsart

[chovynz]

Just double checking:
http://www.wmfclipart.com/
is the site that
http://www.kamsart.com/
redirects to.

Can we do some Whois and background checks on these two and see if 
anything comes up?

By the way Greg, I found your old message thread. :)
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/clipart/2008-September/008758.html
I'll remove the kamasart from the wiki now Greg. Sorry it wasn't done 
before.
Could you confirm if the redirection issue above has anything to do with 
this?

Cheers
Chovynz
