This is the second time I've been asked by a third-party to use one of my photos that they found on flickr. I found your entry while doing some research before deciding on an answer. Your entry confirmed my initial gut-reaction and I'll be answering "No". BTW, the first time was for a SF based ad agency working for Daimler-Chrylser. I ultimately said "Yes" after exchanging emails with them. They (the ad agency) did not pay for the photo (even though they were clearly paid shitloads from Chrysler). However, they used 3 photos, thumbnail/postage-stamp sized in a full-page JEEP ad that ran in the WSJ, USA Today, and LA Times. The final size of the images (super-small) was the deciding factor in agreeing. It was basically a collage with no particular image (of the 700 or so) being featured. Great entry.
