Creative Commons-Flickr• CC: How does Flickr use Creative Commons licenses? Do you see

Creative Commons licenses solving problems for Flickr creators and visitors?

• SB: We allow members to select a default Creative Commons license for all photos they upload and the ability to control licensing on a photo-by-photo basis. This gives people the most flexibility. And I think it does solve a real problem for some people: they want to be able to post their photos on the web and still express their preference as to how their work gets used.

• This was an important step for us; as individuals and as a company we believe in and want to support free culture. Creative Commons licensing is great because it just sort of “snaps in” — the hard thinking has already been done, and even some of the technical work. In the longer term we’ll be adding a lot of features which will help viewers find Creative Commons-licensed photos: by license type, by subject, by photographer, and so on. With a powerful search interface we hope that this will become a valuable resource. The best case is really that the creativity that goes into people’s contributions to Flickr goes on to spark yet more creative work by more people around the world. And then they tell two friends …

Da ResourcesPutting it all together

• Compfight is a service that allows you to quickly search Flickr and browse hundreds of results instantaneously. There’s also an option to search only the Creative Commons images, saving you a couple clicks compared to Flickr’s own “Advanced Search.” One other thing that makes Compfight useful is the fact that when you roll over each thumbnail, it tells you the pixel dimensions of the ‘original’ size image.
