I have a question regarding Alamy and the usage of the Creative Commons Non-Commercial License.
Since my first flickr days I use the Creative-Commons ByLine Non-Commercial Share-Alike License for my work. I want this to enable for example NGO's to use those pictures for illustrative purposes, but to restrict commercial usage, enabling this only with a license agreement with me as the proprietor.
The question is if this is compatible with the Alamy business model.
Any hints would be appreciated

Re: Alamy and Creative Commons Non-Commercial License
Since Alamy is non-exclusive, anything including giving your work away free on the street is compatible with their business model. Basically, you can't sell work as Rights Managed/Protected if it is sold under any other form of license. But you can sell it as L (Licensed) or Royalty Free (RF) no matter what other outlets you may have. Caveat emptor applies here. Since Flickr images are rarely the same as the 48MB+ versions you will create for Alamy, you are not actually selling the same image file.

David, thanks. For a non native speaker, the Alamy terms of service were not completely understandable
