The principal is simple, when you are looking for a picture on Yahoo a filter bar shows up with different options. You can select a picture by size, colour, from Flickr or not, all of these option are very classic, however Yahoo! includes a re-use option. When you select this new option you have two more different choices; either select image free to reuse for commercial reasons or the one that can be modified.

 

Yahoo! Image Search - Reuse

Yahoo! Image Search - Reuse

 

The Yahoo! filter uses a Creative Commons license in order to select the copyright free images.

 

My question is what stops a user using a not copyright free image from a third party element and post the picture under a Creative Commons license…

 

Anyway, this new function of Yahoo! Search Image is pretty interesting and for once different from Google!
