Hi Platonides, in Instagram you don't have the possibility of declaring a CC license (as in FB, if I'm not wrong) but you all answered my real question: I wondered if a pic done with the Instagram app (and often already published on the website) was able to be licensed in CC. It is :-)

Dear all, a doubt: is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons?
There seems to be two 'Instagram', the Instagram app and the Instagram website. I'm not sure what you mean with compatible with Creative Commons. If you mean Can I explicitely say in instagr.am that the photo is CC-something?, that depends on the options provided by the site (I don't have an account). If you mean Can free an image as CC-something after using Instagram, the answer is yes.
Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for
WLM)?
Yes. You can license your ow pics under a different license. And there's nothing in http://instagr.am/about/legal/terms/ giving the copyright or an exclusive license to them.
From the Proprietary Rights in Content on Instagram secrion: "Instagram does NOT claim ANY ownership rights in the text, files, images, photos (...) you hereby grant to Instagram a non-exclusive, fully paid and royalty-free, worldwide, limited license").
Please consider that I'm not suggesting Instagram pics are good for WLM (they are filtered and all, probably not very suitable for illustrating monuments on Wikipedia) but is a legal matter.
