Some sources of images with an open license.
Chronon:
Flickr has a whole set of images licensed under CC licenses that are searchable by license. For instance, you can search pictures that are released under an Attribution Share-Alike license. There's also a list of public domain pictures there. Openphoto.net also seems like a good resource for creative-commons licensed images.
NASA photographs may also be fair game.

If a recognizable person appears in a photograph, use for commercial purposes may infringe a right of privacy or publicity and permission should be obtained from the recognizable person.

edit:
I split this from the jClix topic since it was kind of off-topic for that discussion. Discuss other sources of open-licensed images/media here as well as how to organize this info for the wiki.
hhannah:
It would be sad having to waste ALL the old backgrounds, IF some of them could actually be used (i.e. they'd have the proper licensing), but I suppose their license is very hard to locate after almost two years, even if someone really wanted to... anyway Chronon

I think your approach is very constructive and it's nice to see that, so even if the sources you mention end up not being used for jClix, they surely are valuable for new themes, since is not so easy to find quality images that also have the adequate licensing
Chronon:
I agree that it would be a shame to discard any work unnecessarily.
I guess this info should go on the wiki somewhere, though I'm not too sure where at the moment.

I found a few options listed below; maybe the information could be placed in one of them, and then put links to it on the others:
- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WpsGallery#WPS_Upload_Guide
- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CustomWPS#Images
- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/ThemeGuidelines
- http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/SubmitWPS
Chronon:
Yeah, I was thinking that the ThemeGuidelines page might be the most logical as it has to do with other rules of submitting themes to the wiki. I'll give it a go a little later.
edit: I added a blurb toward the end of the ThemeGuidelines page.
