The problem with writing up a post is finding the right image and more importantly ones you don’t have to worry about taking permissions for. Google today launched a feature for Image Search that lets you find images that fall under the Creative Commons License. This isn’t restricted to the Creative Commons License (CCL) only but images that are tagged with other licenses like GNU Free Documentation license or images that on public domains. The CCL lets artists set ways how their images are used by others i.e in a commercial or noncommercial way. Once the artist has set up how their work is available on the web, Google makes sure that others on the web can find the image for their use.
