A bunch of tar files containing categorized (by directory) collections of
high quality photos and scalable images.
Each picture would have recorded information on where it came from
including the copyright and permission for its royalty-free reuse.
Package developers can make packages of those tar files. For example, I'd
make a "clipart" package that installed the clipart to
/usr/pkg/share/clipart/fish/goldfish.tiff or
/usr/pkg/share/clipart/animals/cartoon/giraffe.svg
(I am not sure how it should be categorized yet.)
Then a user of another software like gimp or scribus or whatever could
browse the directories to use images. (They probably want to use some
other suggested indexer/viewer to quickly see all.)
