A new kind of Folk Culture. Somebody from Delhi, somebody from New York, somebody from Singapore, can feel comfortable using photo that was created and given away by somebody in The United States, or in China, or wherever that the licenses have been extended to. With their identity being preserved. Which means that people can actually create new kinds of things, come together and build things.
