The "what is commercial use" notion is pretty interesting. I'm sure there could be many interpretations.
If you look at some stock photo sites, they allow the photos to be used in commercial settings, but they do not allow the direct reselling or redistribution of the images. So, for instance you can use a photo in an advertisement for a product, but you cannot sell a poster of the photo as a product. So I guess that means that stock photos are meant to be used in creative works (even for commercial purposes) but they cannot *be* the creative work. Here's an example of the license from istockphoto.com (although its still pretty confusing and seemingly contradictory): < http://www.istockphoto.com/license.php > -Josh On 3/7/06, Ms. Kitka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Man, that guy is pernickity... > > Kitka > > > --- In [email protected], Markus Sandy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > I think this article may be of interest to many videobloggers: > > > http://www.sourcelabs.com/blogs/ajb/2006/02/creative_commons_is_broken.html > > (here too: > > swik.net/User:alex/Alex+Bosworth%27s+Weblog/Creative+Commons+Is+Broken) > > > > > > There is also a lively discussion about this taking place on the > > cc_license mailing list > > http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/cc-licenses > > > > > > Perhaps this would make a good topic of discussion for the next > > videobloggers video conference > > http://www.voxmedia.org/wiki/Videoblogger_Videoconferences > > Got any good stories related to Creative Commons Licensing? > > Come share them in about 9 hours. > > If you are normally asleep then, stop what you are doing and go to > sleep > > now so you'll be up for the conference ;) > > > > > > markus > > > > -- > > > > > > http://apperceptions.org > > http://digitaldojo.blogspot.com > > http://node101.org > > aim/ichat: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!
