It feels like the end of an era :s13: I can't say I'm all that surprised though.


I'm slightly sceptical about this license type search. I know it clearly says that it's only a guide & to verify the license before use etc., but I tried searching for a selection of company names, large movie franchises, and book titles under "free to modify, share, and use commercially", and got back almost identical results including a very large number of company and brand logos. I'm almost certain most of them are not permitted for commercial reuse.

Basically what I'm saying is that whilst I accept that it's only meant to be a guide, it seems to be a guide which is wrong in about 90% of cases from the very few estimates I've carried out.
