... but if you have images on Flickr you'd better pay attention:

Reading between the lines, I'd say that Flickr is For Sale and I think
the likely buyer could be someone like Getty Images (with whom Flickr
already has a relationship). If such a thing happens, I'd pay VERY
CLOSE attention to any changes in their Terms of Service (You know,
those things that most people seem to click through without a moment's
thought?)

Flickr could be a Gold Mine for a stock service like Getty and your
images could be getting licensed for a fraction of what they could be
if Getty (or someone similar) takes a service like Flickr over.

I'm currently investigating ways to get my stuff OFF Flickr, as I feel
it is coming sooner rather than later.
