History and Overview
PhotoLicence.com has been established as a stock photography provider since 2000 and was first known as PhotosGratis and held a collection of free stock images. Due to demand for public and/or commercial use of the collection's photographs, PhotoLicence turned its business-model towards commercialization of royalty free photographs.
Today, PhotoLicence is an online photo agency sharing a new business model, the micropayment model, which was pioneered by iStockphoto, Dreamstime and others, aimed at the democratization of royalty free stock images.
