Also, I'm confused. There is absolutely
nothing at that page which
would indicate to me that I wasn't entitled to do what that eBay
seller did. It even says "The right to use this work is granted to
anyone for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions
are required by law." Your name only appears once on the page, and it
doesn't say "attribution required" or "copyright" or anything
like
that...
This is what I said last time this issue came up, these pages are confusing in
what some think are the appropriate way in which they should be used, and
perhaps this could be clarified.
Yes, I'd agree here - the key is to figure out what we think the best
practice for reusing these images would be, perhaps come up with a
worked example or three, and then start looking at how to structure
the image-description pages so as to encourage and help reusers to do
this.
I wonder if we can persuade the usability people to look at image
description pages next...
