Motivation
The OSGeo Cartographic Library and all software projects obviously need a free map symbol set.
Available Material
- Free map symbol sets from GFOSS.it: Simboli cartografici: trees, geology, meteorology and north arrows
- Free map icons from GRASS: various symbols
- GpsDrive and OpenStreetMap maintain a repository of c. hundreds of Point Of Interest (POI) rasterized and SVG symbol icons under a permissive OSS license. Things like "banks" and "hospitals" are very well covered.
- ...
Other Technology
(please keep focus on free as in freedom technologies)
Microsoft has a symbol server
