>From memory, the main issue with clipart,photos etc were that Sun could not validate them. So what they wanted was for all submissions (same with the code) to be licensed as Sun being part owners. This idea was absurd when it came to public domain images etc and I believe it was put to the community council to look at alternatives to the license for special cases such as art, templates etc. I would think that we may not be able to put the photos on the OOo site until this issue is resolved with Sun, but that does not stop us making a second cdrom image to distribute via our normal channels. As such, we can have one cdrom with all the programs, documentation and source, and the second one could be the templates, clipart, photos etc. What do other people think?
