Assuming you're querying the c) logo on this picture - I think you
misunderstand how the BBC pays for content like this. It's *highly*
likely that this picture is covered by a catchall payment - which
the BBC has with many large photo libraries.
Please also remember that the BBC used to *own* Getty
(http://www.ketupa.net/getty.htm)
Flickr isn't a substitute for professional photo libraries just yet, you know.
(disclaimer - I work for the BBC, though not in the photo library area..)

The BBC do not own anything, but BBC Worldwide does. The BBC is a
corporation and does not make a profit.
In a similar way, charities have wholly owned subsidiary companies
that can make a profit.
In both case, charities and corporations such as the BBC, rules are
very strict.
