[Clipart] Misunderstanding about CC0/PD

[Iwan Gabovitch]

Hi,

A common misconception is that
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ is the license text.

The license text is in fact
http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode .

If a user disagrees with their art being used under these terms, they
should delete this art as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Iwan
