All of the images are released into the public domain and may be used as royalty-free clipart. You can browse the collection through the web interface or download the entire thing as a gzipped tarball. (Mirrors are welcome.) The library is also always soliciting more contributions, and holiday-themed images would be particularly appropriate this time of year. Thanks to everyone who has contributed artwork to the library already. "

Great, combined with OOo by northcat · 2004-11-03 01:08 · Score: 4, Interesting

I used to find OpenOffice lacking of clip-arts. This will make a great combination with OO. (I haven't used OO for a while, so if OO has many clip-arts now, please excuse me). I used to think open source is lagging in the graphics department, but its nice to see advancements like this.
