What about images from STOCK.XCHNG?
We have cleared this already on the Wikimedia Commons. In short, the
terms of use are invalid, and the click-through declaration on the
upload submission form of the site is what matters, since there is no
transfer of rights to Stock.Xchng. If the uploader -- the copyright
holder -- specifies that there are no usage restrictions on the photo,
we can use it as such.
