Photographs on this site are copyright-protected under a creative-commons license, which Wise said will be accepted in a court of law. " the impression of your "informant" is understandable. I had the same impression thats why i asked about the new license model "NP" etc. it was either the fault of the original article writer that he might not know that flickr doesn't automaticly mean its CC licensed, or he quoted Mr Wise incorrectly. No blame on your or your "informant" :-) given the wording of the story:

I learned about it in an email from a normally reliable reader who says he saw the pic was copyrighted and 'assumed' it was CC. I should have checked myself (I usually do) but because I know the person who sent the email, I didn't. My mistake and I've corrected the story. Cheers! And thanks ...
