      Fine. Yes. It is Creative Commons Licensed. And yes, you can use my Kitty Reindeer picture in exactly the way that you used it, given the rule of Attribution: You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work). However, I have had plenty of other people who have asked for permission to use my photo before it was used. Was it required? No. Was it polite? Yes.

      I agree with you about driving traffic back to my pictures - it's a nice thing. However, I also want to be sure that I am not providing pictures to the world to use. In my set for photos that have been blogged, I state:

      Currently, I don't take much offense. At least not enough to make a big stink about it. Exposure is exposure. Right now I am enjoying playing on Flickr and so accept the community along with all its strengths and weaknesses.

      I also can respect the fact that you only use pictures that are Creative Commons licensed. That's very nice of you. As it is, it is something that I am unsure about - even with the Creative Commons licensing. Perhaps, I need to put a statement on each of my images that it can't be used without my permission or mark all my photos as private. I had hoped that I didn't need to go to those extremes and that people who wanted to use my images would do the "nice" thing and ask for permission. Maybe I am too trusting.

      I think you would have to put a statement on each image to fulfill the CC requirements. That being said usually I only take the small image I find via search and use that image and link back to the main page which I don't usually look at. At that point I would have admitted completely to being in the wrong.

      What I would like to see (and at this point I'm sure you would to) is flickr to add a section under the creative commons license under additional information that would give the ability to users on how to apply attribution.
