Animals flashcards
‘Animals’ is currently a very short flashcard set. The issue of image copyright is bothering me. I used WikiMedia Commons for the images in these flashcards, but it required a bit of brute-force searching to find images that were totally unencumbered by copyright. Most of the images in WikiMedia Commons seems to be under one of the Gnu licences or one of the Creative Commons licences. Wossis.com currently has no means of recording copyright information with the flashcard images, so I feel as though I should only use ‘totally free images’ (with one very obvious exception!).
The more I think about the copyright issue on wossis.com, the more I think ‘public domain’ is the way to go. 200×200 pixels is a fairly restrictive format for images – perhaps contributors to wossis.com will be happy to ‘let go’ of such small images? I must get round to making a page on wossis.com that clarifies the copyright position of images uploaded for cards. One day!
Enjoy the animals!
