Be careful if the photo includes a person’s face prominently. If it does, the person in the photo has likeness rights in the photo[0] which the photographer cannot assign to you without a signed model release form from the subject of the photo. Most Flickr photographers are amateurs who don’t have model release forms for their photos. Plenty of lawsuits have occurred around the use of Flickr photos without model release forms (there is also a major sub-plot in the Kevin Smith movie “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” that revolves around likeness rights). Creative Commons is not enough when there are prominent faces in the photo. [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights
