Flickr API Niceness
« on: December 21, 2010, 03:53 AM »

Now I check the API Key page, and see this (source):

First, we need to know whether or not your app is commercial.
Choose Non-Commercial if:

   * Your app doesn't make money.
   * Your app makes money, but you're a family-run, small, or independent business.
   * You're developing a product which is not currently commercial, but might be in the future.
   * You're building a personal website or blog where you are only using your own images.

or
Choose Commercial if:

   * You or your agency works for a major brand.

AND one of the following:

   * You want to make a profit.
   * You charge a fee for your product or services.
   * You will bring Flickr content into your product and intend to sell those services.

Non-commercial includes:

Anyways, just wanted to post that as it was something I thought was very nice of them.
