Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
DECEMBER 5, 2009
Everything that needs doing can be done by license voluntarily. Everything is negotiable under license, except in practice, they don’t want to negotiate about access -- because there’s not enough money involved. Microsoft Press is a great example of this. Do I work on this $50 million licensing deal on a short deadline?

I use the " BY Attribution " creative commons license. I've used this license. I still sometimes see rather blank expressions when I ask about turning to CC licensed resources to find photos. No, but is more likely to happen is that people will use the work, use the license honestly, and improve the work.

There's even a quote from Governor Schwarzenegger in the press release! Accessibility is a huge asset of open content materials, which are frequently released under the Creative Commons licenses and are freely distributable. We're promising to do highly accessible versions of 80 open content textbooks.

We have been especially successful in receiving blanket agreements from major trade book publishers such as HarperCollins, Random House, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Perseus, Scholastic, Encyclopaedia Britannica, as well as many university presses (including Cambridge U Press). . • Most publishers don’t say yes or no.

Deal with legal and administrative stuff, such as: get a business license. develop templates for proposals and contracts (Nolo Press is a great resource for contracts). Tags: Consulting. publish your business name in the paper. get a Federal Tax ID. set up systems for tracking income, expenses, and invoices.

I have no idea if using Flickr to distribute and archive photo and press releases will appeal to the media and/or blogosphere, but I got the idea from what I think is the best nonprofit photostream on Flickr: The UN Refugee Agency. Thousands upon thousands of press releases flood the Web everyday. Again, this is just an idea.

cc licensed flickr photo shared by alumroot. Those went okay, we always get a solid core of photographers tagging and posting pictures to flickr. It looked a little more comprehensive then just asking people to tag and then trying to aggregate (we also looked at other tools like CrowdVine which was very comparable, almost a coin flip).
Expert insights. Personalized for you.
