Photo licensing and copyright
We are keen to ensure that photographers retain appropriate rights over the images they add.
In this regard, different licenses are available, which you can select when adding material.
You can also set a default license in your settings.
The licenses available are:
- CC Attribution-Share Alike (by-sa)
- Copyright with no re-distribution rights
- Public domain
- Plus, when a photo is imported from Flickr, the same licence as the original
CC Attribution-Share Alike (by-sa) [default]
This is a Creative Commons license. Naturally the photographer retains the copyright for the image. But under this license:
Users of the website are free:
- to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work

Under the following conditions:

- Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same, similar or a compatible license.
Any of the above conditions can be waived if you get permission from the copyright holder.
Nothing in this license impairs or restricts the author's moral rights.
