Take for example http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/370027865_d72262821b_s.jpg. The first digits of the filename is the so called photo_id: 370027865. The goto [http://www.flickr.com/services/api/explore/?method=flickr.photos.getInfo] and enter the photo_id there. You will then find at the tail of the xml that is being output: <url type="photopage">http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryan-tongminh/370027865/</url>. And that is where the picture is located :)

Hello,
One problem when checking licenses of images coming from Flickr is some users provide the static link to the image on Flickr, instead of the description page showing the license. That makes the verification very difficult because you have to search Flickr images hoping you'll find the good tag that will lead you to the good image.
I've contacted the Flickr support team to know if there was a tool or a special page to help finding the description page from the static link. Their answer is below and it seems to work. I hope it will help.
Cheers! Guillaume
