Thing 10 - Creative Commons

I had heard about Creative Commons before but didn't have a a very good understanding of what it was all about. After learning a bit more about creative commons I ventured over to Flickr and performed searches for creative commons photos. It appears there are several variations of creative commons with different levels of permissions or restrictions. This flickr page does a pretty good job of spelling out these differences.

Knowing about creative commons will have an affect on my approach to future projects. Knowing what to look for and what freedoms are available will be liberating. Some potential negatives to creative commons may be a tendency to abuse the rights that are being granted.
