It is, indeed, gray. I will take your advice to heart, and unless I learn differently down the road, I will only use photos in the future with a commercial license. Thanks for getting back to me.

This is actually one of the biggest sticking points with CC licenses is the definition of commercial use. There's a wide swath of gray area here that isn't easily explained away.

What I typically tell people is, if you're using CC content for anything that in any way generates money, even if its just ads to pay the hosting bills on a site or a site that remotely promotes a business, to go ahead and make sure they have commercial rights.

For example, here on PT, I use only works licensed for commercial use because the site does promote my consulting practice. Do I make money directly from PT? No. But it does support my business indirectly.

This is just an area where the law is not settled and, even when it is, there is a lot of confusion among the people who license and use the content. It's just better to be safe than sorry here. If nothing else, it avoids conflicts.

Just my two cents…

Can I use an image with a "non-commercial" license on a blog on a business web site? For example, if I use my company web site to to talk about landscape design services, but write a blog post on that site about how to grow tomatoes in your garden and want to use a photo of a tomato plant, does that constitute commercial or non-commercial use? I'm not selling tomato plants, just providing free tips to my readers. If I write a blog post (another site) about simplifying your life (not selling a service) but I have affiliate links and advertisements on the blog, does using a photo constitute commercial or non-commercial use?<br><br>Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on commercial vs. non-commercial use.
