I doubt that our licenses and Google's license filter are playing together well.
I am regularly pinged by a Google guy who is desperate to get Commons data into Google Image Search in a more systematic way. If any of you think this project is interesting I can totally get you off the ground. It will not be hard.

So basically, it lists 3 search engines and two obscure websites whose images you have to pay (one of them with only 400k images)? Perhaps it's only an advertisement for those websites.
Guess which site with lots of free images is not mentioned...?
We /seriously/ need to do more PR (viral or otherwise) for Commons!
Sure. But it would be enough if people used Google with a license filter. Problem is, many seem to prefer all rights reserved images (including this blog post), or they don't care.
