Hello Sir, Concerning the OpenClipart image again, I have typed "Public Domain" in the permission text box and click uploaded, but in red i was asked to put the License to be able to upload, when I clicked on the License combo box, many options are available under the Public Domain header, so I chose the first one which is " I found the image on Google or a random website". The image uploaded successfully, however it said that it will be deleted after 7 days. Please can you clarify what should I choose from the License Combo Box so that the image is not deleted from the site. Thanking you very much Sir for your kind attention, Zaynah.
