MORE INFORMATION
---
In 1999, I did some more rooting around in the (then) Xoom.com site, and found
this particular page on licensing. Please keep in mind that my page is non-commercial
and not for profit while you read this.
(There is a copy of these terms with highlighted extracts of this below)
It would seem that the artists commissioned by Xoom to do these photographs
have done so via a third-party copyright system. I will enquire and if directed
purchase and publish the license given by xoom.com regardless of the fact that
mine is a non-commercial site.
However, if you do see any loop-holes in this, there is a contact email and
address for the legal adviser of Xoom. As far as I am concerned, once I put
this license on my site and the Universal Pictures Copyright notice on each
and every page, I have done what is needed.
Here is the information I have found, if not believed it can be found at
the web-site address above.

Do I need a license?
When you purchase a CD-ROM set of the Web Clip Empire
you are automatically granted permission to use the clips
on any and all personal projects and on *one* commercial
Web site. If you are going to be using the clips on more
than one commercial site or for other commercial
purposes, then yes, you need a license. These policies and
prices apply to non-profit organizations, as well.
----
The only clause that would be applicable to a sight light mine *if* it
was a commercial web-site, would be this one (Note: the IMPORTANT footer
to this proposed license, and the fact that it applies to *commercial
and *professional* web-designers only).
Designer and Developer License
This license is for professional Web site
designers and developers and for firms or
individuals who create multimedia
presentations for use by their clients. This
license covers the use of our clipart for
content embedded as a design element into
commercial Web sites, Web advertising, and
multimedia presentations created as work for
hire for a client. Also, if you intend to use
or
make the clips available on a corporate
intranet, you need to purchase this license.
ideal for professional Web site
developers, advertising and promotional
projects one-time buy-out fee of $169 covers
all
clip art purchased from XOOM, within
two years of the date of the license, for
an unlimited amount of time
entitles the licensee to substantial
discounts on future updates to the
clipart collection
does not include delivery of materials --
you must purchase the Web Clip Empire
CD-ROM set separately from XOOM
IMPORTANT: This license does *not* grant
the right to resell any clip as a standalone
product or in a bundled product configuration
to be used as clipart by the end user,
including making the clips available for
download from a Web site.

This last bit applies to *Professional Web site
Designers and Developers and for firms or individuals who create
multimedia presentations for use by their clients*
At the last look, I am not in that category, so *this* applies:
"When you purchase a CD-ROM set of the Web Clip Empire
you are automatically granted permission to use the clips
on any and all personal projects and on *one* commercial
Web site. If you are going to be using the clips on more
than one commercial site or for other commercial
purposes, then yes, you need a license."
