A good website to track is Smashing Magazine I keep the RSS feed on my iGoogle page as the regularly have articles along the lines of 50 Beautiful Free Icon Sets For Your Next Design. They're a bit "graphic designery" if you get my drift but they do provide some really useful stuff.

But if more-or-less-free-for-use glyphs are ok, then you might give glyFX's free icons a try.

There are the silk icons (and others from famfamfam). Those are not copyright-free, but I figure you meant they needed to be unencumbered, free-to-use, etc. (Truly copyright-free stuff will be very, very hard to find.) The silk ones just require acknowledgement somewhere, nothing else.

We use IconExperience which is royalty free. You buy a licence for a company. They do two different libraries, one called V-Collections and the other X-Collections. There are various sections within them, that you can buy separately, but for V-Collections its $379 at most and X-Collections its $289.

Answer 5

Try the Fugue and Diagona icon sets. Again, they're not copyright-free, but can be used in exchange for attribution.

Answer 6

Gnome has good icon sets and the licence is GPL. http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon
