As Joani said, "if you click on an image the source site shows up so you 
know who to write to to get permission to use the picture."  I'm sure 
that most coho folks would be glad to sign off on licensing. :-)

Google Image search and Flickr's search engine also allow you to limit 
your search to images that are licensed for commercial reuse under a 
Creative Commons license.  That comes in very handy for situations just 
like these.
