I am just taking photos of the rugby (adult) teams at the rugby club, so games, and squad shots, these are copied off camera to my $HOME folder then burnt on to cd, i can then give the cd to the webmaster for use on the club site. I just want credit for my photos, e.g Photo By Paul Sutton for example. I don't mind people using them as long as i get credit. (not much to ask is it), If I ask verbally then it may happen, if I release under an attribute licensem, then it 1. Puts this in writing 2. Promotes creative commons in general i can put the license text on in the folder i burn to the cd / dvd, perhaps also create a lable with the appropriate creative commons logo onit. > > If say Flickr, just assign the relevant licence to them on Flickr, and > others will know when they find it.

If they can afford a few beers at the end of the game they can afford 1 a4 photo and say 4 quid a photo for a team of 20 people is like 80, I can buy a lot of equipment with that.
