[theme-reviewers] Question about image credit

[Liane Blanco]

Thanks! I've got some corrections to do on the two new themes I have
submitted then. I'll have to link to the haunted house image at DeviantArt.
Also, just checked on where to link for the sunset image in Silver, Blue
and Gold and saw that the photographer does require a back link. So I have
to come up with a new sunset. Good thing Pixabay has a ton of them. Still,
I really liked that sunset. :(

A question for future reference - when/if I get permission from an artist
to use a graphic that is not licensed CC0, do I need to include an email or
some kind of statement from them stating that I can use the image?
