In case you're not already aware of it, I'd like to direct your attention to the Open Game Art Bundle (note: not officially affiliated with this site), a crowd funded Creative Commons art project. At the time of this post, they've got 1 day and 8 hours left, and are less than $700 short of their $10,000 goal. If they reach their goal, the entire bundle will be released into the public domain under the cc0 license. If not, the art will be provided to backers under the CC-BY license.
Much like other indie bundles, the Open Game Art Bundle allows you to pay what you want, and split that payment between the artists and charities (in this case, the EFF and the Creatice Commons). Also, there are some cool bonusus for donations above $10, $25, $50, and $100.
Let's help push these guys past the $10k mark! :)

Update: A few hours later and less than $200 to go. Let's do this. :)

Aaaaaand BOOM!
We've reached our $10,000 goal, meaning all of these assets will be published tomorrow under the Creative Commons Zero license.
And yes, I'll get their respective artists to also post them here on OpenGameArt.org :)
Many thanks, bart!
