Default using images for your articles, licensing

I want to use a picture from flickr for an article, but I'm not sure about the licensing.

It is under the Creative Commons license and says:

Free to:

Share- to copy, distribure and transmit the work

Under the following conditions:

Attribution- You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work).

Noncommercial- You may not use this work for commercial purposes.


I'm wondering if I can use this image for my site since I'm using google adsense.

Also, do I have to contact the creator or simply use the image and have a link to the author's flickr image?

You need permission for commercial use, which strictly speaking includes a site that profits from AdSense. It's best to err on the side of caution with these things, so I would just shoot the photographer an e-mail or find another picture.

You don't need to contact the author for the attribution part of the license, although I am sure he or she will appreciate it. You do need to put something like 'Photo by Author' in your article somewhere.

Thanks for the clarification.

I just decided to find another picture which allows me to use it for commercial purposes (adsense).

Heya...

I had the same problem with my blog, Had a tough time finding great images and so much of the time they weren't free.

Than i found this

The sites in there should be able to cover you for free legal sources of images for about the next 7 lifetimes

enjoy.
