Open source graphics?


Is there a good place to get open-source graphics? Us programmers put out enough free code, its time for graphics designers to do the same

Just kidding. But I'm looking for free icons to use in my applications without worrying about copyright infringement, etc... I would absolutely credit the people for their work, I'm just wondering if there are any good websites with free graphics and images.

On a side note, a similiar website with sounds would be helpful, but at the moment I'm basically looking for .png icons, but any type of icon would be useful.

OpenClipart.org has good opensource graphics and some distributions provide prebuilt binaries.

Wading through hundreds of garbage webpages wastes more of my time than asking the question. I tried multiple google searches filled with garbage results that either A) tried to sell me "royalty free" icons, B) sell me entire icon sets, C) get me to download icon conversion software, or D) other.

Next time don't waste your time with the google searches. If you looked through the results instead of thinking you're the only genious on the planet, you would have realized the top 8 pages are pretty bad. I was looking for a unified page similiar to sourceforge.net where graphics developers hang out. Next time if you dont know, please don't respond. Thanks anyways.

When I'm looking for graphics, I usually just checkout kde-look.org. They have a *lot* of iconsets floating around there, just check the license on any you find that you like and if it's a freebie then go for gold. Most are GPL so it's cool to use them

The sites,

kde-look.org
openclipart.org
tango-project.org
openphoto.net
flickr.com/creativecommons

are all great sources of open graphics which you can freely use... but I'm trying to find somewhere to submit my sets of web application control icons (ie/ edit, delete, view, etc..) and I can't find a place for this. Openclipart.org only wants svg files, not gif or png.

A great for web developers to get free-for-use web templates is oswd.org
