I'm just scared of what is going to happen to flickr if M$ buys Yahoo.

How about putting you work out under the Creative Commons License? Will Flickr support that? Awesome. Go NYPL! I hope more libraries do this.

I couldn't; best I could do was CC-Attribution, which isn't really what I want. I want a public domain option, dammit.

I looked at Flickr a couple of years ago, became disgusted that there was no way to tag my photos public domain, and haven't looked since. I see that these "Commons" photos are tagged "No Known Copyright Restrictions", and I think that'd be a pretty spiffy tag to use on photos I'd like to upload there.
