What about images from STOCK.XCHNG?
[Snip]
As has been discussed at length on Commons amongst other places, we have taken the (informed) decision to laughingly reject the parts of Stock.XChng's terms and conditions which seek to place upon viewers of images on their site things that only the copyright owners have the power to do, namly restrict their future use. If the owner says "no restrictions", then their images are indeed not under any restrictions, and, effectively, it's Stock.XChng's problem that their users are saying things that Stock.XChng doesn't want them to.
