I ALWAYS apprechiate ALL use of my stock. 
Doesn´t matter AT ALL, if I personally like the outcome. Why?
Like this I can take a look into other ppl.´s heads - others I would not take a look at actively myself. 
TOO FAR OFF FROM MY OWN PLAYGROUNDS!!
TOTALLY INTERESTING!! to get shown things which others consider as relevant.

UNRESTRICTED STOCK




I made cc-by-licenses for my stock-pics, finally.
A "Free-to-use & just credit" one. Which is called "BY" (attribution).
WHY?

To give you as user the written permission to use my STOCK-pics AS YOU LIKE - even outside dA & commercial!
- as long as you give credit and leave a link under my pic.
You don´t have to leave a link under the used pic - but it would be totally appreciated... You must give credit under your work.


To give credit in a decent manner...
on dA:
 :_iconresMENSA: plus [link] to the used stock-photo.
leave out the underscore, folks!

and off dA put in "resMENSA" and the  [link] to the used stock-photo. 
not the whole "resMENSA@deviantART.com" sermon...





there are no rules, but one:
    link back to my picture and comment underneath it with a link to your creation.  
(because I´m curious)

My own stuff is marked STOCK in title, with CC-by-license now. (by = attribution)

If I used someone elses stock, it might has a different license.
Watch out for this, please.

...
The first thing I did, before I uploaded a single photo as stock: BACKUP of my archive - and PGP-encrypted.
Any time I add photos to my archive - I do a backup...
Then I choose certain photos, strip meta-data (EXIF etc.), rename it, make a JPG or PNG of it.
These are stored in their own sub-directory (named DAup) - else I would have lost any orientation about 200 photos ago :)
Finally, when I upload a photo as stock, I put a cc-by-license (just give credit) on it. 
my own works have a cc-no derivatives-license - that´s s.th. else...
By doing this, I claim ownership of that photo in public.
Only the legal owner of rights can give these away like this.

   and about CC-license on dAthx, :iconPhraggle: for your comment! Totally forgot the main question:
For what is a cc-license good anyway?
Well, it´s quite difficult to find out, who has the copyright for a certain photo... to ask for permission!
Because this is not tagged anywhere, there is no list, you could check.
Creative Commons is a non-profit organisation, that tries to change that...
I´m using cc-BY-license for my STOCK to provide others with relieable base material.
Hence, that my ARTWORK is labeled with cc-ND/NC-licence.
Which means NO derivatives/NO commercial use. 
If You submit a deviation, you can put a cc-license on it.
Under "OPTIONS" you find "PUBLISHING OPTIONS"
Last entry is labeled: "License: Creative Commons..."
If you hit the little down triangle... you get the following range:
"Use a Creative Commons license?" "YES" or "NO"
"Allow comme
