Creative Commons License

I found an amazing site today which manages some of the copyright issues surrounding all of us in this Information Age. 

You can choose to have a limited copyright so that others may use your work for non-commercial use and you can allow them to modify or not allow them as well as other options. 

I created a license from their wizard by going to http://creativecommons.org/license/ and then choosing the options that I wanted.  I created this license for images that I post on my blog and on http://www.Flickr.com, where I post my photos.

Below is the badge and the tag that covers my pictures on this blog.
