Hi,

Thought this might be of interest, particularly to those, like me, who

complied with...

"I've tried to follow how these photos have been used online, as well,
to understand how–and how well–freely licensed images are used by news

Interesting, particularly the non-compliant use described here:

project lead of Creative Commons Brazil."

People who might be expected to know and/or behave better.
