Should Creative Commons Drop Its NonCommercial & NoDerivatives License Options?
- danso 14y agoI put up virtually all of my Flickr photos under the No Commercial clause. This is mostly because I'm afraid of other people using the images for purposes that they do not have the rights to...i.e. using a person's likeness to sell a product. If that person sues, I want to be as far away from the litigation as possible: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7680 http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/7680 http://www.switched.com/2007/09/21/virgin-mobile-steals-teens-flickr-photo-for-ad/ http://www.switched.com/2007/09/21/virgin-mobile-steals-teen... The no-commercial clause obviously encompasses more than that, so to answer the OP, yes, the Non-commercial clause is a symptom of poor education on rights.
