can I use this photo from the BBC
-
Hi. There’s a lovely photo on the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_pictures/7865153.stm about London’s snow. As its big news here right now with loads of better photos than I could take, can I put it on my website with acknowledgements to the BBC. I can’t really understand their copyright policy. I think its OK cos its only for my personal use on my blog which is a personal blog or am I mistaken? Thanks in advance. http://cyclenewbie.wordpress.com/
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

So, I think it’s fine. But don’t hotlink and do give credit.

I thought as much but I just wanted to be absolutely sure. Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

It’s a pretty enlightened policy, actually. Too bad more of their photos aren’t top quality.
