We're talking about a lot of stuff that borders on legal. Just keep in mind, we are NOT lawyers, but we've just developed experience with this stuff for the same reasons you want to know more.

5. Is Free the Future?
Advantage to designers is now “the cloud;” ability to utilize things for free that were not free previously. But “free” presupposes “ability to use.” Yet, does it?

6. Non-Lawyer’s Guide to Copyright
You go to the web and find a picture that would be perfect for your Web site. You’re going to use it to illustrate a concept your college covers. Can you use it?
You put pictures of your vacation on your Facebook page, but you didn’t put a copyright statement on them. Can someone else use them for a book they’re publishing?
You are teaching class for the first time online, and want to show the clip of a movie. The movie itself is one you bought, and it isn’t copy protected. You will only be showing it to students registered for your class, and it’s really the only movie clip that will reasonably illustrate your concept.

7. fuzzy copyright / Nancy Sims / CC BY-NC 2.0
Copyright says you own the work and people have to get your permission (and sometimes pay you, if you ask them to) to use it. Problem with copyright is the length of it. If the work was created after 1978, then the term is live of the author + 70 years. If it’s anonymous or published under a pseudonym, or a work made for hire, the term is 95 years from date of first publication or 120 years from time of creation. Works created prior to 1978 are even more complicated.

8. Fair Use! / Jason Schultz / CC BY-NC 2.0
Many cite Fair Use and Teach Act to utilize materials in their classes. But “educational purposes” doesn’t equate to blanket permission.
Fair Use: The copyright principle based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary/criticism/parody.
Teach Act: The Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization Act attempted to clarify the terms under which accredited, nonprofit U.S. educational institutions may use copyright-protected materials for organized instructional activities that may not be face-to-face.

Now what?
Public domain
GNU licensing
Creative Commons

11. Public Domain REALLY free and open
Include “most” U.S. Government materials
Wikimedia Commons
Other options include things released into the public domain, which include some government reports and images from U.S. government websites. Be judicious in your assessment of these, however; some agencies contract with private companies to create reports, which in some cases may be the property of the company producing the report. Always check the copyright statement in such reports if there is one.
See the list on the resources page for more of these.

13. Creative Commons What is it?
Copyright was created long before the emergence of the Internet, and can make it hard to legally perform actions we take for granted on the network: copy, paste, edit source, and post to the Web. Copyright says we need permission to do all of that, whether you’re an artist, teacher, scientist, librarian, policymaker, or just a regular user.
Creative Commons knew there were people who wanted to freely share their work and other people who wanted to use it. The Copyright office said “We don’t cover that, so go make it up!” So they did.
Creative Commons provides a set of copyright licenses and tools that provide a balance inside the traditional “All Rights Reserved”. CC licenses are available in human speak, legal speak, and computer speak.

23. Non-Commercial If you’re unsure:
Contact the copyright holder for permission
Search for works under a more permissive license
Works cannot be primarily intended for commercial gain
Commercial test for Fair Use: Does it impinge on the copyright owner’s ability to profit from the item?
Creative Commons Non-Commercial Use Study and links debating the uses of the NC license:
That was sort of a trick question. The answer is open for debate. As long as your work is not primarily intended for commercial gain, you should be okay.
“What does and doesn't constitute commercial use is not easy to answer.
If you are unsure then you should contact the copyright holder for permission.  Alternatively, you could search for works under a more permissive license.  
The license states that the use cannot be "primarily intended" for commercial gain, but what that phrase means is open to debate.
