SpriteLib GPL

Overview

SpriteLib GPL a collection of static and animated graphic objects (also commonly known as sprites). It was created to provide hobbyist game developers with an assortment of images to use in their creations. Because of SpriteLib GPL, developers don't have to waste precious time or money creating graphics from scratch.

As of 11/2004, SpriteLib GPL is officially under the terms of the Common Public License. It is effectively free for any use but you can't charge for the distribution of any form of SpriteLib. Please contact me for permission regarding non-game oriented distribution of the package.
