MycoRant

I’m still working out exactly which license is applicable but I am pleased to announce that MycoRant is now published under a creative commons (CC) share and share-alike license.

I have never claimed anything on MycoRant was copyrighted (didn’t need to according to the law) but I hadn’t given it much thought until I asked another site operator/photographer for permission to use a photo. The response was basically yes–so long as my posts are published under a CC license. I thought that sounded reasonable, so I’m flying the creative commons image on the right side bar.

Now, I do publish brief excerpts from copyrighted work, along with a link back to the original material, which I believe falls in the realm of fair use.  I have been pretty good about seeking permission from photographers before using their work as well (work usually found on Flickr or through a Google search filtered by license).

Yes I do run ads at MycoRant. If the day ever comes that the ad revenue covers the annual cost of hosting and domain name renewal I will be pleasantly surprised! Thanks for reading!
