 Can you set the parameters of a search to only
return openly licensed content?

Yes you can..

 The viewing stats are interesting:

 http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/Centenary_of_the_outbreak_of_World_War_I

 A peak of 11,000 views yesterday.

 But the main WWI article (not surprisingly) got large numbers of views:

 http://stats.grok.se/en/latest/World%20War%20I

 376,450 views on 28 July and another peak at 112,239 on 4 August.

 Reached number three in the most-viewed list for the week of July 27
 to August 2, 2014 (and was still at number 15 the following week):

   Would anyone subscribed to this mailing list have time to help finding
   suitably licensed photos on Flickr (or elsewhere) for an article I
   worked on recently?
  
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centenary_of_the_outbreak_of_World_War_I
  
   Currently there are four commemoration events listed on that page at
   which photos were taken, but I'm struggling to find photos from those
   events on Commons or Flickr under a free license.
  
   On Commons I found this image:
  
  
  
 
 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Liege-Cointe-Tour_Memorial_Interallie-20060605.jpg
  
   Which is the venue for one of the events, but ideally any images used
   would be taken at the events themselves.
