You are right, but this is not because they are CC (free) licenses, is because they are issued by the photographer, not by the model. Look at a common release form to see what things are covered there... let me quote from mine: "use, re-use, publish, and republish photographic portraits or pictures of me or in which I may be included intact or in part, composite or distorted in character or form, or derivative works, without restriction as to changes or transformations, in conjunction with my own or a fictitious name, made through any and all media now or hereafter known for illustration, art, promotion, advertising, trade, exhibition, or any other lawful purposes, and I waive any right to inspect or approve the photograph(s) or finished version(s) incorporating the photograph(s)" -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
