Yahoo Introduces Creative Commons Search Engine

[theFerf]

Yahoo! has introduced Yahoo! Search for Creative Commons, a search designed to help find content on the Web that is free to share or build upon. Options are available to limit the scope to content that can be used for commercial purposes, or that can be modified, adapted or built upon.

The search engine helps you quickly find those authors and the work they have marked as free to use with only "some rights reserved." If you respect the rights they have reserved, then you can use the work without having to contact them and ask. In some cases, you may even find work in the public domain -- that is, free for any use with "no rights reserved."
