As a regular user in work and play of quite a few bits of image and data, it's amazing how many companies and individuals will allow use of their commercial product at a minimal fee, by taking out a general agreeement licence, or for free, if appropriate protocols folllowed (The UBD folks - Melways to the vics - are very good at this). Generally a polite request wil get a long way.

Having been on the end of Simon's generosity for pics (Blue Mts Cliffcare zonks ago), I can vouch for his generosity for a cause. The things are:

a) never take it for granted;
b) get approval before incoprorating the image into your media;
c) graciously accept a decline;
d) slavishly heap praise and ensure credit is given for the info / image if an approval is given.

A follow up 'thanks' of an official nature is a really nice thing and should be done always, I reckon.
