Art question - what can be reused?
Hey there, obviously there are frames and buttons and icons that come from CoreRPG that people use, especially if they are not artistic (me me me!) but if someone, for example Celestian posts a ruleset like "AD&D Core" (free predecessor to 2E rulelset) and it has a small icon that I like to use like: Attachment 57514, is that OK to reuse in other rulesets?
I am completely unaware of nunances. I know art is copywritable and expect anyone who gets the art has the say so etc - but I wanted to know if there is a rule or procedure on what IS available to be used in free or paid (I expect different rules may apply) rulesets/extensions etc.
On a related topic, again since I can't do art, is there a good place to go to get legitimate and reusable icons, images, buttons, and frames, etc? From B&W line simple ones to artsy ones and all in between? For all I know there is a common "clip-art" or "stock pho...err..images" site I could be visiting but don't know about. In the past I just "stole" buttons and icons willy nilly from any unzippable file because I was just experimenting where no one would see or use it. If I want someone to use it, I rather not have to go back and redo small things like buttons and like - replacing backgrounds and frames are more easily tracked and done after the fact than a myriad of tiny art.
Appreciated!
