Here is a copy of the e-mail reply I recieved as a follow up. Copied & paseted directly here. The only change is the removal of the phone number.

Hi Byron,
I read your comment on MediaShift about use of your CC
photo. For your background I’ve been using CC photos
in the same way for the past two years and have never
had a complaint about usage. In fact, I wrote a story
about CC/Flickr at MediaShift too:
http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2006/10/digging_deepercreative_commons.html

PBS is not a commercial site, but is non-commercial.
I’m not sure what you mean about hosting the image on
Flickr vs. PBS. If you want me to link to where the
photo is originally hosted on Flickr, I can do that in
the credit. It’s really up to you on the attribution.

You’re the first person who told me that I needed to
get permission for usage before using the photos. I
thought the point of CC was that you could use the
photos as long as you followed the guidelines.

Anyhow, please explain what you’d like me to do on the
post and I’m happy to do it. If I can’t do that, then
I can easily remove that photo and use another one.

Sorry to have upset you.
Best,
Mark
