This page contains the full licence, detailing the terms of use that apply to everything you find here (except for those things that have been borrowed and are thus subject to the terms of use applied by whoever and wherever they have been borrowed from).

Here are links to three sites that provide textures and patterns licensed under a Creative Commons licence.
