Joanna Smith at thestar.com is reporting that a Flickr user has been ordered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to remove a CC-licensed photo of himself at the olympics. The IOC indicates that part of the problem with the photo is that he licensed it to a third-party (Creative Commons). From the article:
When Giles [the Flickr account holder] asked for clarification on the original letter Thursday, Frédérique Reynertz of the IOC sent a second email to say that one of the photos with a Creative Commons licence “was recently reused in England for commercial purposes.”
More information available on the Flickr user’s blog.

Hope this blows up in the IOC’s face!
