Copyright your imagery
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 2:32 pmFor those that would like to be flexible in the granting of rights in regard to the use of your imagery.
There has been a lot of discussion in regard to copyright and how it can be used in relation to digital data (including imagery). If you have produced an image and would like to give it to others and don't want to allow them full use or you want to limit their uses of it then you could use
a "Creative Commons" license instead of a full copyright note.
Information about what is and how to apply is available at the following site:

Of course just having the license doesn't enforce it but this type of license does give some flexibility in the distribution, use and publication of your imagery.
Cheers,
Terry
