Am I able to use any images from Flickr for non-commercial educational use?
Copyright is established once an image is created. This means that for most images on Flickr the copyright will rest with the original photographer. There are a number of licenses that are used in relation to Flickr images. The most useful licence is the ‘No known copyright restrictions’ which allows you to use certain images free of charge for any purpose – please see The Library of Congress’ photostream and those from other organisations whose images form part of The Commons. However the default setting for photos uploaded to Flickr is ‘All rights reserved’ which means that you must contact the rights holder before using the image for any purpose. A large number of images made available on Flickr are done so using Creative Commons licences. A Creative Commons license allows the owner of a copyrighted image to specify how others might use the image. You should also be aware that people who upload images to Flickr using Creative Commons licenses are not necessarily the owners of copyri
