The author owns the rights to the image and by using it you are bound by the Creative Common’s License.

If my website or business makes money or is for profit, can I still use PhotoDropper?
Yes, just make sure you are using images that allow for commercial use. The welcome page on PhotoDropper will ask you if your website makes money. If it does answer accordingly, so we can show you images with the correct license type. Please note: It is still your responsibility to make sure the image you select has the correct license for your needs.

Why do PhotoDropper’s searches differ from that of Flickrs?
Our searches add a little bit of “Magic” to them to help you quickly find the correct image and license type combination.
