By the way, I know that Merlin is not using PD sources, however I should
point out that as far as I can tell he is actually doing the legal and right
thing in providing attribution on these images. I don't think he's doing
this with bad intent.

Unfortunatly for him and OCAL, I think he might simply not know that CC-BY
is not compatible with PD/CC0. I'll be gentle with him but ask him to remove
all the cliparts that are not from a PD source.
