Obama and Creative Commons

I have been looking at the amazing pictures on Flickr taken at the Obama household on the night of the U.S. election, and I have to say that I am utterly surprised by the fact that the photographs are all shared under a Creative Commons licence (Attribution, Non-Commercial, Share Alike).

Is this a good sign of things to come?
