A couple of things gleaned from the dreamstime license page: 
https://www.dreamstime.com/about-stock-image-licenses

1) The "content level" for the leonine image is level 5. For this level a 
'Royalty-Free License' costs < 4$, with a
'web usage' license of < $10. The question, it seems to me, is 'what does 
this license/s allow me to do?

- The Royalty-Free license seems to be for a single person only. There are 
clear restrictions intended to stop
you incorporating it into other derivative works; you can use it 
personally, including websites etc, but you can't
(for instance) sell posters or musg with the image, nor sell it on, or put 
it in a colouring book etc.

- The Web-usage license seems to be more about using it in web templates 
that you might sell on.

- There are other licences but none of them seem very applicable to Leo's 
exact use; 'distribution' as part
of a free software package.

I can enquire about this specific use if you like, without mentioning the 
specific image we are talking about.

BTW if it turns out it's a matter of $10 i am happy to pay for it as a 
thanks for Leo ;-)

also FWIW: The leonine image seems a whisker off-vertical to me: looking at 
the Lion's face it is turned a
few degrees anti-(counter-)clockwise. Is this deliberate, I wonder?

Regards, Jon N
