Seriously though, I appreciate you taking the time to drop a comment I think we’ve all just heard so much hype about Flock (which is good for open-source!) that it’s hard to figure out why/when this browser is going to be so revolutionary.

There are some protections built into the Yahoo ToS:

With respect to photos, graphics, audio or video you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service other than Yahoo! Groups, the license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publicly perform and publicly display such Content on the Service solely for the purpose for which such Content was submitted or made available. This license exists only for as long as you elect to continue to include such Content on the Service and will terminate at the time you remove or Yahoo! removes such Content from the Service.

Good luck getting Flickr/Yahoo to stay cool with integrating AdBlock though

Best of luck pushing Flock up to Release Candidate! I’ll definitely be following your progress, as I’m sure many people will be

Just to clarify about the Yahoo/Flickr thing… Yahoo’s ToS are actually much more in favor of you than the original Flickr terms. Yahoo errs on the side of making sure that you keep the rights to your photos whereas the Flickr terms were more along the lines of “you own your photos but we can do whatever we want with them!” At least that’s what my friend, Cal, who developed Flickr, tells me!
