<div>Always ask permission from the photographer if you want to use the Image<br>
<ul>
<li>In website templates that You intend to sell or distribute.</li>
<li>For creating printed reproductions that You intend to sell.</li>
<li>On "print on demand" items such as t-shirts, postcards, mouse pads, mugs (e.g. on sites like Cafepress), or on any similar mass produced item that would contain the Image in a dominant way.</li></ul></div>
<div>If one wants to use an image for Templates (Themes in out case) simple e-mail to image author will allow that. Year ago I was designing a cover for a cook book for very low-budget client and several images from several different authors was used with their approval. From 8-10 different authors there was only one who said no. All others were very happy to approve.</div>
