[Developers] images and cc

[Brendan Neutra]

here's some relevant info:

http://creativecommons.org/learnmore/faq#How_do_I_properly_attribute_a_Creative_Commons_licensed_work?

and my approach to complying:

license: cc by-nc
photographer: Ken Mccown
source: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenmccown/

notes:
* for now I just put this in the image description, but I agree it 
should be stored in it's own place
* It is probably safe to assume that the photographer would want to keep 
the same name of the piece (though if it's very uninformative one could 
put that in the alias) though you don't technically have to do this 
unless they specify it.
* Rather then give the exact url source of the image (which I don't 
think has much chance of being maintained) I chose to specify the users 
flick home page as a source

for what it's worth.  I suppose this is a work in progress...
