We've noted some discussion about licenses of the images published online. Thus far, as you may have noted, Nokia Image Exchange has not offered any licensing options.
What kind of licenses would you guys prefer to have? Creative Commons at least? Which of those would be most meaningful to you?
On behalf of Nokia Image Exchange team,

Thanks for listening! I think being able to add your license (per picture and a default setting) would be a very good addition to the service.
The set of CC licenses is quite small, I see no problem in letting the users choose whatever they prefer among them.
Claiming the full copyright besides the license that the ToS gives to Nokia should also be possible. (I'd like a discussion about the ToS too btw.) I believe this is what you get implicitly in most countries anyway, but making it explicit clarifies things for the users.
Lastly, a possibility to license it under public domain, giving up all your rights to the work and releasing it for any use. These options together should cover the whole spectrum.
I like sharing so just as I have done this far I'll probably continue to use CC BY-NC-SA (CC with attribution, only non commercial, and similar license for derivatives) as stated above mostly.
i think simkilar lic options as currently optioned in flickr and picasa web would be sufficient. As choices one can pick on the phone. For web you could have more to pick from.--- N95 31.0.0.17 | N97 11.0.0.21 ---
