JB and I have put together a list of sources that may be suitable for images for Buildr-type things. Also, we’ve put together what we hope is a short-enough page describing some of the common licenses under which such images are found.

Since it’s in the wiki, you all should obviously feel free to add your own sources, but please make sure that people going there can be somewhat bumured that they won’t have to read too many license agreements or try to work out the licensing on their own before you add it.

Hopefully they’ll be useful to some people. If not, well, too bad. Log in to see images!

License explanation

If you’re wondering about the motivation, it’s mostly so that there’s a relatively clear and succinct explanation of Creative Commons vs Public Domain vs whatever else licensing, as there’s lots of misunderstanding. Also, there’s a perception that CC = free = ok to use, which for a for-profit company like Crotch Zombie, ain’t necessarily so.
