Hi,
I am somewhat befuddled by the Creative Commons licenses.
http://creativecommons.org/about/licensesI was thinking of allowing use, with restrictions, but I can’t find one which fits. I know some people here are exponents of the Creative Commons license, but so far it seems to give much away without any real benefit for me.
For example, I can let people use the image for free for commercial purposes. I feel that if someone is using my image to make money, I am right in charging a fee for its use. I can’t see a Creative Commons license with that form of attribution.
I also can’t see how I can control how the images will be used - I may want to restrict my work based on my own personal ethics. I would not want a picture of mine used by the BNP, or used to advertise products I am not comfortable with.
So, right this moment, my images are not licensed using the Creative Commons.
Yes, I am aware of the whole “if you don’t want them used, don’t put them on the web” argument. If I do find that someone has used an image without permission, I do have more weight behind my argument at the moment.
What do the group think about Creative Commons?
