Searching this group for 'Dreamstime' brings up conversations in 2013 and 2014 about this logo. "Royalty free" doesn't indicate free use -- it indicates that the image is able to be used without royalties, once a proper license has been purchased. I imagine that would entail a Dreamstime subscription, or a one-time purchase.
