Not all photographs on Flickr are available under a Creative Commons licence, so this guide explains how to limit your search to Creative Commons material. Depending on which licence is attached, Creative Commons images can be freely used in teaching material, as part of research publications, on blogs, wikis and other websites, in University publications and in MOOCs. Images licensed under Creative Commons are still subject to copyright, but the creator or copyright owner has chosen to allow other people to use their material under certain conditions.
