[Clipart] Public Domain certification blurb on Upload screen

[chovynz]

Hows this one? It's getting there.
http://www.openclipart.org/upload

TODO:

    * Make the text centre aligned on the image centres.
    * Tighten up the vertical spaces.
    * Consider putting this disclaimer inside the right column, to
      reduce the space from "Upload" to the File Browser field.

We need someone to fill out these.
http://openclipart.org/wiki/How_can_I_tell_if_my_clipart_is_free_of_copyright

    * Talk about CC/GPL/MPL/etcetc licence incompatibility
    * Talk about the obvious copyrights and trademarks
    * Talk about researching your sources
    * Talk about "Why is this important?"

http://openclipart.org/wiki/How_can_I_contact_you_guys

    * There are pages (Ocal+Wiki) already around that mention how to
      contact us and mailing list. One more, specific place won't hurt,
      Copy and Paste, and re-write.
    * Talk about questions to ask about public domain questions, and
      other things.
    * Rename the wiki page if you feel it needs a better title.

Cheers
