Photo Free-for-All: Instagram Users Adopt a Creative Commons License
Independently of Instagram, Philip Neustrom, co-founder of the open-source knowledge repositories LocalWiki and DavisWiki is encouraging members of the photo-sharing community to release their pictures into the public domain.

Flickr has something like 200,000,000+ images licensed under Creative Commons, making them the biggest repository of Creative Commons work in the world. CC work from flickr is regularly used by Wikipedia, magazines, books, bloggers, everyone! It’s downright fantastic!
Instagram gets something like 5+ million new photos a day. If we could get just a small fraction of people to agree to CC license their photos we could make a huge impact on the free culture movement.
