<div dir="ltr">Well, it is useful to note that Flickr offers no options for licensing that are compatible, so it's not a good place to go to get images of any sort. Note that this is unlikely to change, as Flickr did this intentionally:<div>

It's one thing to get an image from a system where there's nothing but a description saying such, but when they have an actual "license" field, then that should take precedence, in my mind.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So short answer: No images on Flickr are compatible at the present time.<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div>-Otto</div>
