Share and share alike – Creative commons on Flickr

I was sitting in the pub with a fellow geeky friend, Dave Knipik, and he was explaining how he would like to use a photo of mine on Flickr in a Londonist blog which I was delighted! I never had a photo used in some piece of work before, it was all very exciting. We then went onto a discussion of public usage of photos online which then stumbled upon the Creative Commons license. Essentially it is a set of licenses with various levels of restrictions that a person may choose to place on their work to protect it.

There are many licnese are available and I chose to have:

    Attribution - All works need to have credit back to me, so all photos taken from my Flickr gallery needs to have a link back with some love/respect thrown in :)
    NonCommercial - No you can;t make money off me....except if you pay me!
    NoDerivs - No work can be derived from photo, so no hacking it apart

On Flickr you can access this by:
- You->Your Account
- Privacy & Permissions tab
- Clikc on "edit" of What license will your photos have

Dave also kindly pointed out that there were many people out there who hunt for stuff under the creative commons license. So if you fancy having more of your Flickr stuff in the world of work. Go for it!
