Heh just upload them unser the GFDL. Certian issues with the lisence
means that images released under it are pretty much useless for
conventional comercial use

GFDL makes sure it can be sold to the highest bidder because there is
nothing to stop someone copying what the highest bidder has just

code was released and I belive was the basis on which the monzilla and
firefox browsers were built.
