Patrice suggests that I seek 'guidance' from Frederick Noronha to put my work under a Creative Commons license. Thanks, but no thanks.
First of all, I don't need guidance from Frederick Noronha on anything. He has lied and smeared people publicly here on Goanet with no retraction and no apologies when he has been called out (and those have been numerous occasions). Secondly, while I contribute to charitable causes and make available my images to causes I deem worthy, I am not willing to sign away the rights to my work via CC. The kind of work I do takes a hell of a lot of time, effort, and money. Creative Commons may be ideal for dabblers like Frederick. PS: Most of my work - in photography and in music - is anyway available for 'free' on my Photo Blog and on my Music Archive. I have to pay for the fast servers, etc - all self-funded, with not a single dime from anyone all these years. And yet people steal, and to top it all, I get gratuitous advice..
