Pictures and License


Pictures that are freely available online are not freely available for disposal.

They need to be used according to the license that has been attributed to the picture, this is rather scary, even though the original user may not bother to take the next step of taking you to courts it will always be a good practice to follow the license in the image and use the picture according to the conditions in the license.

Some individuals and organizations have been generous enough to include their pictures under the Creative Commons License (Many of these Pictures could be used freely unless they are been utilized for Commercial Purposes, while proper attribution should be given to the owner).

In case you are not sure always speak to the owner of the image, this is a good and appreciative practice. As people living in the Information Technology era it is always good to follow something that is beneficial for the new entrants to the Information Technology arena.
