How do we handle it when an artist gives us explicit permission to use their art, regardless of the licensing? Every time I've approached someone about using/altering a photo with a CC license they are thrilled, and I can credit them in context. Seeing as we can't stamp 'photo by: " on our wallpaper do we need to ask them to agree to a non attribution use? Is this in the wiki and I just not see it?
