I'm sorry to hear how hard it's been for George. Flickr is a great product and has had huge returns for Yahoo. That said, my uninformed reaction is to consider this a good move. The last thing Yahoo needs is another project with no clear business model, regardless how cool. This is the kind of work that should be funded by massive donations like wikipedia.
