Great work on clarifying a lot of stuff regarding the CC-BY License. I have a question. If I'm going to sell online the photos that are under the CC-BY license and if they're going to be distributed through printed media like gift cards or canvas prints, do I have to overlay the photo with the attribution like for example "Artwork cc by Newbie Photographer"? Or, can I just upload the photo as is and put the attribution in a description box somewhere in the artwork page along with all the other attribution info such the CC license URL, etc.? Thanks so much!!! Hi Molly! Great work on clarifying a lot of stuff regarding the CC-BY License. I have a question.
