I get emails like that too. I just reply with, "sure, you have
permission", and try to reinforce a bit with "just like the license on
the image page says", although I'm sure they stop reading my message
once they see the "you have permission" part. :-)
We do tell people not to rely on WP as their sole source, so it
shouldn't be too surprising if responsible persons want confirmation
about the information on an image page. It's not like it's protected
from vandalism...
