The tLicense Twitterformat (e.g., /l by) sets a license for any assets linked/uploaded in your tweet (for example when uploading a photo to Twitpic). Twitter clients that implement tLicense can link known licenses (e.g., Creative Commons licenses) and also services like Twitpic can implement automatic license support for tweets containing tLincense.

This sounds awesome: Photo Dropper is a Wordpress plugin to find and add Creative Commons licensed photos to your blog from Flickr.

The content in my blog is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution UK license. So that means that you can basically take the content and do what you like with it as long as you give me credit. So, as long as scrapers give me proper credit, I really can't say anything to what they're doing. I don't approve of what they're doing, but, as long as I'm using the Attribution license, I can't object to it.

I don't know if this is an inherent failing of the Attribution license or not. Should it include an ethical clause, for example, that specifically disallows scraping of content and other abuses?
