Well known and often used are the icons by famfamfam.com. You can use under CC and have to mention the author, backlink and send a mail with a link or screenshot. Read the license on website.

Check out creativecommons.org . Read the license info, and do a search for icons, images, etc., that fall under the Creative Commons License. It is worth checking out and its free!

Creative Commons License is free as far as money goes, but still requires attribution which is annoying if you're using a LOT of images. EDIT: I didn't realize they have a custom google search for CC licensed content, that's pretty cool! –  Steven T. Snyder Aug 29 '11 at 23:12
