Just a note that if you are using CC stuff that is specified 'Non-Commercial' you can still contact the person/organization that holds the rights and secure another license from them. The idea behind applying a CC license is that it is a *default* license that (should) easily and clearly specify what you can do with the works, and if you want to do something else, discuss it with the creator. Sure, it might be a pain contacting people whose work you've used about another license, but it might be worthwhile to all parties. As I've mentioned, on my Usage page I explain what I consider 'Non-Commercial' and clearly note that if you want a commercial license, to get it touch with me. The idea being that if something was all my creation, I could license as I wish... and of course if I used the CC work of others, I'd need to discuss with them as well. Or something like that... Non-Commercial is such a hard to define term. If you have ads on your site, or affiliate links, is it non-commercial? If the ads make you a grand total of $200 per year, is that really commercial? You could make more selling your plasma... Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future... Yahoo!
