Not sure what the licensing requirements are:
BEST FREE RENDER TEXTURES
Rendertextures' license is quite generous. It can be found at this link: Terms of use « BEST FREE RENDER TEXTURES
In short, they only thing you really can't do is resell the textures themselves. Selling work created with them is permitted. You can even directly post the textures to other websites as long as there is a link back to rendertextures.com and they are attributed as the author.

Thanks for all the great info. It truly helps when people share what they've already found on the net.
This flikr pool has some of the best grunge textures (many are oil painting closeups) I have seen in many a month: Highly recommended especially for making a 'uniter' colour or for ageing paper / parchment.
