The License for the photo of the pasta is the Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 Generic License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/deed.en_CA), which, as the name suggests, requires attribution. Attribution does not mean stating that the photo is licensed under a creative commons license, it means stating that the work was created by a specific person (in this case, you would either credit seriouslygood1 or Kevin Weeks, which I'm guessing is that user's real name). Does linking to that user's flickr page (as you've done) count as attribution? I'm frankly not sure, but as a non-lawyer, I would guess no.

This is definitely one of my pet peeves, since people who license their work under a CC license like this are being really nice - All they want you to do is give an attribution, and then you can use the work for free!

my favorites are the ones they upload that have huge watermarks across the image from istock or something.

Not HAVE a link nearby, but clicking on the photo itself is supposed to take you to that photo in the Flickr user's photostream. No one at Slog has ever figured that out, either.

But yeah, that CC license should say "photo by Kevin Weeks, seriouslygood1" [link to seriouslygood1's Flickr page], courtesy Creative Commons. In addition to linking to the actual photo.

At least thats what my great-grandmother always used to say

It may sound horribaly racest now,but it's tame in that era of lyncings when she lived....appraintly they were the parah's of the local professional class...because my great-grandfather treated the poor AND blacks....lived in a shack, was paid in goats in chickens which they either sold for medical supplys or used to feed the family.the great depression that generation could kick our ass, props to grandma and great grandma who raised me

sorry to ramble

guess what I'm saying is just because, an OLD person says something that kind of sounds raciest doesint mean he is
look at chris dodd (or was it joe bidon? there the same person to me) both have wonderful records of civil rights and working towards equality...both are extremly gaiff prone

OF COURSE THIS IS A REPUBLICAN FROM UTAH..so that doesint apply, damn straght he's a raciest
