So we redefine the question to one that is somewhat more posible to
answer and in some ways more useful.

What are the common areas of free images?

Answers will include such things as works of the US federal goverment
and it's agencies. Crown copyright over a certian age (depends on the
type of material) and anything over 185 years old (old living person
is currently 115) other than a few oddities like peter pan and the KJV
within the UK.
