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...
