P.S. In the SVG for a "Fox"
(http://www.openclipart.org/detail/40021/fox-by-artfavor), which was
evidently generated by Adobe, the license was tagged in RDF as Public
Domain; but Inkscape shows it as having a "Proprietary License" in the
document's MetaDeta. Might I suggest that you add that license info
for Inkscape to any RDF tagged SVGs you are hosting (and going forward
load...) to avert possible license confusion...

I was looking at your robots; I would think that "Startoy"
(http://www.openclipart.org/detail/5388/startoy-by-ufo_web_factory) is
a legally hazardous work of art; it looks like a Star Wars robot, and
that might not be enough in itself to consider it infringing upon a
LucasFilms claim, but it's name?! "STARtoy"! Ill advised to have that
up there.

Suggestion: It should be easier to find the address/contact info to
report possible infringements; a link should be _prominently_ visible
on your landing page. I had to resort to Google to find your contact
info...
