Taloussanomat adopts Creative Commons

Taloussanomat, a major Finnish financial newspaper, now uses CC BY-NC-ND
license on all their online articles (via Antti Vilpponen). They also have a page clearly explaining the license terms and information on how to use the license, along with a piece of html-code that you can use on your own site. This is pretty significant. It means that you can safely quote an entire article from their news service, or use it as part of another service. I like Taloussanomat every day more and more. Not counting the ad-infested frontpage (Adblock pretty much solves that problem), their website has everything you’d expect from a quality service.

I’m looking forward to the first online news service to use CC-licensed pictures from Flickr. I don’t get why they don’t do that already.
