This is definitely one area where I had to make a guess! The terms of service of Facebook (and I think Twitter) assume that the poster is the author of any assets they post. They also relicense any materials posted, in order to grant themselves permission to reproduce those assets. It seems to me that this is incompatible with Creative Commons licenses - since their whole point is that someone other than the author can't strip the licence and replace it with one of their own. I should stress that this is purely my own interpretation. I've searched the web and haven't been able to find any advice, and I can't find anything on the Creative Commons website about it. I've even asked on #creative-commons but didn't get a reply. Allan
