I think your best bet is to host the images yourself, attribute, etc., so you don't leach anybody's bandwidth. You are triggering copyright, but that's educational Fair Use for sure. You can read through the summaries of the various tests at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use but I think you'll find that essentially quoting from the educational material available for the purpose of spreading awareness doesn't look bad under any of them. -Nate
