Can anyone tell me if royalty-free images and photos are OK for use on the laptop? I've read the OLPC licensing statement, but I'm unsure if royalty-free licenses fall under it. We're considering paying for subscriptions to these two services:<br>
<a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/license.php" target="_blank">http://www.istockphoto.com/license.php</a><br>
<a href="http://www.clipart.com/en/company/terms#license" target="_blank">http://www.clipart.com/en/company/terms#license</a><br>
<br>
We have high school girls developing educational games for the laptop, and finding art we can use is the biggest frustration (more frustrating than teaching them programming!). We've asked for art donations from graphic artists, but many have suggested purchasing royalty-free art subscriptions.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
