"Royalty-free" does not mean "free"

The entry for the Corbis image library was described as "royalty-free" and tagged with a free license. I've amended this to a not-free license. "Royalty-free" generally means that you only have to pay a fixed fee to use a specific work within your own work, regardless of how many copies you make of it. When Corbis says you can use their images "any way you want", they mean you can use their images any way you want, after you pay for them. And they mean that you can use the images any way you want, not anyone else; that is, you can't relicense the images to other people. So the images are neither free as in beer nor free as in freedom. —Joe 19:16, 27 March 2007 (EDT)
