Does your library, museum or organisation publish new photographs under Creative Commons?

I am asking this question because I have just been looking at a post called San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2013 in Pictures: The Creative Commons Edition [Gallery] which as part of the article says "Please note that all the pictures you see below are licensed under a Creative Commons license"

I like the way it is making it really clear that these images (and not other images) published on this site are Creative Commons.  I have also noticed, when I copied the article title it automatically added an attribution,which is exactly the text shown just below this.

I have added the blue as a highlight.  This is also a nice feature as it makes the attribution easier. 

It also prompted the question, how would your library, museum or organisation respond if someone looking like some of these people, came into your library?  Hopefully they would have a great library experience, and not be asked to leave.
