Do we have any rules regarding things like needing consent from the photograph subject (if it is a person), regardless of license type? Particularly if they are pictures of minors? (Think students in a classroom, etc.)
Other than that - this looks dandy to me. Just want to avoid wading in those murky legal waters if we can. :) I'm not sure how CC licensing handles these types of things offhand
I would suggest (I don't believe it has never been done before) never to use children. That aside, due to the sensivity of this subject and past distortions, I'm staying out of this.
Basically, to use minors we would need the release forms signed by their parents/legal guardians.
I think the best case would be when a contributor send photos made by himself with his own children and he has a good understanding of the rules. Anything less may lead to problems.
