Here's a new site offering free, Creative Commons-licensed textures:
www.sigmascape.com

Almost 400 free textures, and counting.

Just a small point.

Very rarely will you find completely free, and free of stipulation textures on the web.
So it is important to check the license rights.

In the case of this site it says that if you distribute the textures in Any way that is give or sell
them that you Must give "attribution" to the author. In the traditional sense this would be to
give credit to the creator of the item.

I was not able to find any creator's names on this site. So it appears that the only option to give attribution in this case is to link to or provide the link to this website.

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/us/

Keep in mind that if you want to be in compliance with the law you will need to pass out this
link Every time you give or sell anything with one of these textures on it.

While under the circumstances it is pretty unlikely, it is interesting to keep in mind that if you
did not "attribute" the work every time then you could be Legally sued.

I find the ticklish details of sites like these to be interesting.
In this case it just seems a little strange that by law your supposed to attribute the work.
However the only way to do that on this site is to link or provide links to the site.
