Selling photos uploaded to Flickr under a Creative Commons license that allows commercial use is perfectly reasonable legally. However, it defies user expectations, and will come across as yet another way that sites are abusing private data (even if it’s actually a side effect of them giving users more control). Legally it shows the flexibility of Creative Commons; strategically it’s dumb.
