I try to pay attention to the rules, but thinking about this topic this morning has made me think about being extra careful. I just imagine how I'd feel if I let a photo go into the public domain, and someone didn't follow my stipulations - I'd be upset!

The upshot? You get an auto link-back when the feature is used. When in doubt, don't publicly post high-res versions of your illustrations/photography, and don't post your work in 300 phacking Flickr groups. It just turns into a circle jerking love fest with everyone putting dumb "You're My Flickr Hero!" trophies in the comments anyways, which while it may give you a bang, doesn't really further your work in any way, shape, or form. You can be sure any photos I consider for stock either doesn't touch flickr, or only really small version that aren't publicly searchable are made available.
