Dear all, a doubt: is Instagram compatible with Creative Commons? Can I upload *my* Instagram pics on Commons (so could it be used for WLM)?
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.

Do you mean pictures whose author is you, which you decide to upload to instagram and, then, after, at a later time to WLM?
Yes, you are the author, you can decide the licence, and change it at a later date.
Yes, exactly. Thanks!

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.

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").

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 :-)

Let me put it stronger: the tools used to edit a creation will NOT affect its license.
It does not matter if a text was composed in Microsoft Word, notepad or vi, a picture edited in Instagram, Photoshop ir GIMP, the license is always the author's choice.
I am neither familiar with Instagram from not using it, but it is handy if the platform provides some metadata and APIs, so the import is easy. For example we used custom scripts for flickr import and they were able to mass import images, preserving monument IDs and license, as they were provided in metadata (tags).
