With the removal of the CBIF website for moths, I have lost my source of largely open source images of moths. I didn’t need to ask permission to use them, but only to give credit for the photos. I’ve looked at GBIF, and it would take a lot of sorting to find the Canadian images again. Does anyone k…

Depends I think; most of my uploads are creative commons (scroll down look in the right pane) [image] by-nc-nd means: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ give credit (by), you cannot make money off of it (nc - non commercial), and you may not create derivative works (nd - no deriva…

It depends on each observation and user, people can change the copyrights for each individual observation. I have all of mine set to be public domain for example.
