I receive numerous questions by people wanting to use my photographs for non-commercial purposes. Usually, when the request seems reasonable, I agree - as long as my pictures are properly attributed. I now came across a web service that allows you to generate a license in a legally water-tight and at the same time human-readable version by selecting some options from a menu. http://creativecommons.org/learn/artistscorners/photographers However, I'm not exactly sure what this implies if I should ever decide to seriously sell my pictures? How do others deal with such requests? Is the above service a good idea or is it better to decide on such applications on a case by case basis? (So far, no site I wouldn't like to be associated with has asked for permission to use my pictures, but can one exclude this possibility?). Has anyone here personal experiences with posting a generic license ("Creative Commons" or personal text) on their site? Laurenz http://www.onlinephotogalleries.com/ http://www.travelphoto.net/
