Media for your OS Blog, possibly

Rate: 13 Flag

 

Fellow OSers: 

Today a friend e-mailed me a wiki list for media with "generous copyright licensing."  Since copyrights and plagiarism have been topics of many recent posts, I want to share good fortune with my OS friends.

 I've pulled the links I'm sharing from the list so that you can sample from this page.  Also, the title and link of the wiki that was e-mailed to me are included at the end of the list.

The first two items listed taught me about "spinners," which I think I'll use sometimes when seeking individual licensing notices.

  Please do your homework on whether or not the media is truly free to use.  

I hope you enjoy the share.

Thank you, Scupper! Bookmarking. I know I'll be back again and again. I used this site to fetch a photo for one of my posts:

A great idea! Thank you for all these sources.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to bookmark it too.
Good info for sure. Now will someone PM me how you make your computer do the blue writing thing. Daughters/tech support unavailable. See ya...o/e
This is honestly one of the most helpful posts I've come upon in a long time. Images are so important in terms of enhancing content and you don't want to be ganking someone else's. Thank you.
A good source. Bookmarked for future use.

I'm having too much fun over at Wikipedia, looking at the Current Senates' Official Portraits. I have sooooo many ideas for articles!! ;)
