The current Flickr/Yahoo terms & conditions have very specific rules pertaining to Yahoo Groups and to audio/video/images. The original Flickr terms and conditions were a lot more like section (c) of the current ones, giving Flickr a perpetual irrevocable, sublicensable right to do what it liked with your intellectual property, including the creation of derived works for any purpose and on any medium. While the license looked as though it was just boilerplate written by lawyers to let Flickr create thumbnails, screenshots, etc., that's not what it said. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
