Searching for "commercial-able" Flickr images?

I've just installed the Insights plug-in for my business website http://www.australiasbestwebhosting.com so I have yet to try it.

I noticed in the settings that there is a check box for "Search only non-commercial Flickr images "

Does that mean if I uncheck it, that it will search for commercial-able images? Or will it search for both commercial and non-commercial images?

In other words, I want to add images to a business / commercial site and I want to avoid infringing other's copyrights. Will unchecking these settings allow me to avoid using non-commercial images?

Thanks in advance to anyone kind enough to answer.

Sorry for my poor English.

I had the same question and explored the php-code, today. The answer to your question should be: "yes". If we uncheck the check-box, the plugin is searching for commercial-able images. The search is restricted to flickr-license-Number 4, 6 and 7.

License 7 is, I found out, public domain, but 4 and 6 need to "credit for the original creation". If you don't want to name the author, you have to explore the results on flickr, if they have the addon-text "by" oder "by-nd", cause the "by" will force you to name the author.

Look at my article on http://blog.burkes.de/2010/715…..-lizenzen/

Because we cannot see these restrictions in the AJAX-result-field, we have to jump to flickr anyway. Therefore I think it would be better to make a select-field, ore radio-buttons, instead of the combination of two check-boxes. The select-field should representate the numbers 1-7, these are all combinations of creative-commons-licenses. Then the

I will modify the code, so the search ist restricted to Number 7, wenn check-box is unchecked. I found the code-snippet in "insights-ajax.php"
beginning with

function search_flickr($keyword, $mode = 'tags', $count = 16, $nonc = 0)
{

if ($nonc)
$license="4,6,7"; // !!! Here I will modify to Number 7
else
$license="2,3,4,6,7";
….

By the way: I missed the Number 5. But that's o.k., because with the number 5 you are not allowed to manipulate the photo.

Have a good night.

Peter

PS: A fantastic tool! Thank you so much.
