[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 388143, member: 13090"] Creative Commons licenses allow you, the copyright holder, to license your work (let's just assume this means your photos) for others to use. For an explanation [URL="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/"]take a look at their website[/URL]. There are brief summations of what all those options mean, along with as much legalese you can handle should you choose to dive in. The key word, commonly, is "commercial". That means "make money", "sell", etc. and is a point many people apparently miss. The long and short of it, in my mind, is this: if you want to maintain full control over your photo's, do nothing. You can only *give up* some degree of control by licensing. If you choose to license, you should fully understand what it is you are giving up and what you are getting in exchange.
