    Flickr is NOT set up to sell photos, all the work there is copyright protected & has no OPTIONS to purchase a "copyright use license". Flickr is a community for photographers & designers to share their work with friends & family. Some use it as a portfolio to display their work to potential clients. Work that is freely used & has an additional lic. attached on flickr is for Noncommercial Only (Meaning you can not make any profits from the page you are displaying it on under this lic. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/deed.en )

    @ eric56hk - Please do NOT use flickr for this, you will surely run into legal issues later for it if the page you display it on generates any income for you. Check out the other thread link I posted, it has genuine legal avenues for you to take. If you do use flickr, your best bet is to contact the copyright holder directly & have them send you the permissions you need.

    Good luck :)
